About Broadband in Billingshurst
Billingshurst is in Horsham. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 863 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.

What's Happening with Broadband in Billingshurst?
Billingshurst is well served by full fibre broadband, with Openreach FTTP reaching speeds around 863 Mbps available across the town. That puts Billingshurst comfortably ahead of the UK average: nationally, FTTP coverage stood at roughly 82% of premises and gigabit-capable coverage at around 89% in Spring 2026, according to Ofcom data. For a rural West Sussex market town, that level of full fibre availability is a strong result.
No specific Openreach rollout announcements for Billingshurst or the wider Horsham district have appeared in trade press in recent months. The coverage residents can access today has been delivered through Openreach's broader commercial build programme across the South East, which has steadily extended full fibre to smaller towns and villages in Surrey and West Sussex over the past few years. Wessex Internet, the Dorset and Hampshire-based altnet, operates in rural parts of West Sussex and could be worth checking for outlying addresses if Openreach FTTP is not available at your specific postcode.
One change affecting all Billingshurst residents with a landline phone is the PSTN copper switch-off, scheduled to complete by January 2027. Openreach has confirmed there will be no sudden cut-off on the day: lines not yet migrated to a digital Voice over IP service will be handled gradually. However, if you rely on a traditional phone line, it is worth contacting your provider now to arrange a switch to a digital alternative before the deadline, and to ensure any alarm systems, care phones or payment terminals are compatible.
