About Broadband in Bersted
Bersted is in Arun. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 881 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.

What's Happening with Broadband in Bersted?
Bersted is in a strong position for broadband in 2026. Full fibre (FTTP) is available across the village, with speeds reaching around 881 Mbps on Openreach's network. That puts Bersted comfortably ahead of the UK national average: as of Spring 2026, roughly 82% of UK premises can access FTTP and 89% have access to a gigabit-capable connection. Bersted sits in that well-served bracket.
No specific rollout announcements for Bersted or the wider Arun district have been reported in the trade press at the time of writing. Openreach continues to push toward its target of 25 million premises covered by end of 2026 nationwide, but no Arun-specific expansion news has been confirmed publicly. We will update this section as new information becomes available.
For alternative network coverage in West Sussex, Wessex Internet operates a growing full fibre network across parts of southern England, though its current footprint is concentrated in more rural areas further west. The main provider serving Bersted through Openreach's infrastructure includes BT, Sky, Vodafone, Plusnet and EE, all of whom offer gigabit-capable packages where FTTP is live.
One change coming to all UK households is the PSTN copper switch-off, due January 2027. Openreach has confirmed there will be no sudden cut-off for those who have not yet migrated, but any home still relying on a traditional landline phone connected to the old copper network will eventually need to move to a digital voice service over their broadband connection. If you have a landline in Bersted, it is worth checking with your provider now.
