About Broadband in Bedwas
Bedwas is in Caerphilly. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 890 Mbps, well above the UK average of 69 Mbps. Most major providers cover the area, so there is a reasonable amount of competition on price.
Standard broadband runs over the copper phone network. Speeds depend on your distance from the telephone exchange and typically range from around 5 Mbps to 20 Mbps.
Superfast broadband (FTTC) uses a fibre optic cable to your street cabinet, then copper for the final stretch to your home. Most urban and suburban areas can get speeds of 35 to 80 Mbps.
Full fibre (FTTP) runs fibre optic cable all the way into your home. It is the fastest and most reliable option available, with speeds from 100 Mbps upwards.
What's Happening with Broadband in Bedwas?
Bedwas sits within Caerphilly county borough, an area that has benefited strongly from Openreach's full fibre rollout across South Wales. Full fibre (FTTP) is already available to the majority of homes in the village, with speeds reaching around 890 Mbps on the fastest tiers.
Wales as a whole is ahead of the national curve. In June 2026, Openreach confirmed that its FTTP network now passes more than 1.25 million premises across Wales, equivalent to over 81% of homes, up from around one million at the end of 2024. Crucially, take-up in Wales is approaching 50% of those passed, well above the UK-wide figure of 38%. (Source: ISPreview, June 2026.)
For context, Ofcom's Spring 2026 update put national full fibre coverage at 82% of UK homes, with 89% able to access a gigabit-capable connection. Bedwas is in line with or ahead of those figures thanks to Openreach's South Wales investment.
On the altnet side, Ogi is the most active independent full fibre provider across South and West Wales. In May 2026, reports emerged that Ogi and fellow altnet Fibrus had entered talks over a possible merger that could create a combined network covering around 600,000 premises, potentially strengthening the competitive choice available to residents in areas like Caerphilly.

TfW Fibre (Transport for Wales Ffeibr) is building out along the Core Valley Lines railway corridor. In April 2026 the network was extended into central Cardiff, with the Valleys lines passing directly through the Caerphilly area. This infrastructure is primarily carrier-grade Ethernet and dark fibre, so residential services are not yet broadly available, but the buildout increases the overall fibre density of the region.
It is also worth noting the PSTN copper switch-off, now confirmed for January 2027. Any phone lines in Bedwas still running on the old analogue network will be migrated to digital Voice over IP services by that date. If you have a landline phone, alarm system, or telecare device relying on copper, check with your provider now.
