About Broadband in Blaby
Blaby is in Blaby. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 874 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 Blaby?
Blaby is well connected by UK standards. Full fibre (FTTP) is available across the district, with speeds reaching around 874 Mbps on Openreach's network. That puts Blaby comfortably ahead of the UK average: nationally, around 82% of premises can access full fibre and 89% can access gigabit-capable broadband as of Spring 2026, and Blaby broadly matches or exceeds those figures.
No specific local rollout announcements for Blaby were found in recent trade press at the time of writing, though Openreach has continued expanding its FTTP footprint across the East Midlands as part of its national build programme. Residents in parts of Leicestershire have also seen coverage from CityFibre, which uses its own independently built infrastructure to deliver gigabit speeds through ISPs such as Vodafone and Zen Internet. It is worth checking whether CityFibre has reached your specific postcode, as availability varies street by street.
One important deadline to be aware of: Openreach is switching off the old copper PSTN phone network in January 2027. If you or anyone in your household still relies on a traditional landline, you will need to move to a digital phone service (VoIP) before then. Most full fibre packages from major ISPs include a digital home phone option, so switching broadband ahead of that deadline covers both needs at once.
