About Broadband in Bickington
Bickington is in North Devon. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 885 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 Bickington?
Bickington is in a strong position by rural North Devon standards. Full fibre (FTTP) is available here, with speeds reaching around 885 Mbps on Openreach's network. That puts Bickington well ahead of many comparable villages in the South West, where FTTP roll-out has historically lagged behind urban centres.
Nationally, gigabit-capable broadband now covers around 89% of UK premises, with FTTP specifically reaching approximately 82% (Spring 2026). Bickington sitting within that coverage bracket is a genuine advantage for residents and home workers who need reliable, fast connectivity.
No specific local roll-out announcements for Bickington or the wider North Devon area have been published on ISPreview or by Openreach at the time of writing. There are no confirmed altnet builds here: providers such as Jurassic Fibre and Wessex Internet operate in parts of Devon and the South West but have not publicly announced coverage in this specific village. The infrastructure you can access today is Openreach's FTTP network, served by a wide range of ISPs including BT, Sky, Vodafone, Plusnet, and EE.
One change worth planning for: Openreach will close the old analogue copper phone network (PSTN) in January 2027. If your landline or home alarm still runs over a traditional copper line, you will need to switch to a digital (VoIP) alternative before then. Your broadband provider can advise on the right option, and the switch is straightforward if your property already has FTTP installed.
