About Broadband in Blackawton & Stoke Fleming
Blackawton & Stoke Fleming is in South Hams. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 857 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 Blackawton & Stoke Fleming?
Blackawton and Stoke Fleming are in a strong position by rural South Hams standards. Full fibre (FTTP) is available across much of the area, with typical speeds around 857 Mbps, well above the UK national average of 82% FTTP coverage and the 89% gigabit availability figure recorded in Spring 2026. For a dispersed rural parish on the South Devon coast, that level of connectivity is a genuine achievement.
No Openreach-specific rollout announcements targeting Blackawton, Stoke Fleming, or the wider South Hams district were identified in published news at the time of writing (June 2026). The area sits within Openreach's commercial build footprint rather than a publicly subsidised intervention zone, which means coverage here was driven by commercial deployment rather than a government-funded scheme. Openreach's national target of passing 25 million UK premises by end of 2026 remains on track, though the build plan for 2027 onward has not yet been confirmed.
Wessex Internet, the rural altnet operating across Dorset and South West England, has expanded coverage in parts of Devon. Residents who fall outside the Openreach FTTP footprint, particularly in outlying hamlets between Blackawton and the coast, may find Wessex Internet worth checking as an alternative. The provider focuses specifically on rural premises that larger networks do not reach.
One deadline affecting all properties in the area: Openreach will close the old analogue PSTN copper phone network in January 2027. Any household still on a traditional landline will need to move to a digital voice service before that date. Homes already on FTTP will typically switch via their broadband provider, but Openreach has confirmed there will be no abrupt cut-off for the small number of lines yet to migrate.
