What's Happening with Broadband in Bicester South?
Bicester South is well served by full fibre broadband, with Openreach FTTP delivering speeds up to approximately 886 Mbps to homes in this part of Cherwell.

No specific rollout announcements for Bicester South or the wider Cherwell district were found in current trade sources at the time of writing. Openreach continues to expand its national FTTP network at pace, passing 23 million premises across the UK as of early 2026, and the South East of England has generally benefited from that build programme. We will update this section as any local news becomes available.
On the altnet side, CityFibre has been active in parts of Oxfordshire and the surrounding region. It is worth checking whether their network has reached your specific postcode in Bicester South, as altnet coverage can vary street by street and often brings additional competition on pricing.
One important date to be aware of: Openreach is switching off the old copper PSTN telephone network in January 2027. If you still use a landline phone on a traditional copper line, you will need to move to a digital voice (VoIP) service before then. Most ISPs are already contacting affected customers, but it is worth confirming the position with your provider now rather than waiting.
