The South West is the leading English region for BDUK-funded gigabit delivery, with 194,750 premises upgraded to March 2026 under the government's Project Gigabit programme. Somerset has benefited directly from this push into areas that commercial operators would not have reached on their own.
Openreach supplies the full fibre infrastructure that most major ISPs, including BT, Sky, EE, Vodafone and Plusnet, use to deliver service in this postcode. No specific rollout announcements for Bishop's Hull or Taunton West appeared in national trade coverage at the time of writing, which in this case reflects good news: the network is already built, and attention has moved on to areas still waiting.
For those on older copper-based phone lines, the PSTN switch-off takes effect in January 2027. Openreach has confirmed the transition will be phased rather than an overnight cut, but households still using traditional landlines should check with their provider now to arrange a digital alternative before the deadline.
Somerset-based altnet Wessex Internet also operates FTTP networks in parts of the South West, offering an independent alternative to Openreach-based providers in select rural areas nearby.
