About Broadband in Blackmoor Vale

What's Happening with Broadband in Blackmoor Vale?
Blackmoor Vale sits in one of the most actively upgraded broadband areas in England. Full fibre (FTTP) is available here at speeds around 877 Mbps, well above the UK national average of roughly 82% FTTP coverage and 89% gigabit-capable coverage recorded in Spring 2026. The South West is the strongest BDUK delivery region in England, with 194,750 premises reached by March 2026.
The most significant local development is the completion of Wessex Internet's North Dorset Project Gigabit contract (Lot 14.01), which brought full fibre to 7,100 rural premises in the area using £6m of state aid funding. Wessex Internet's CEO confirmed to ISPreview in April 2026 that this contract was finished on time and within budget, making it one of the first BDUK Project Gigabit lots in England to reach completion. A larger follow-on contract covering Dorset and South Somerset (Lot 14: 21,400 premises, £33.5m) is ongoing. (Source: ISPreview.co.uk, 8 April 2026)
Wessex Internet is the primary altnet serving rural North Dorset, including villages and scattered properties across the vale. Openreach also provides FTTP in the area through the major ISPs. Between the two networks, most properties in Blackmoor Vale now have access to at least one full fibre connection.
One deadline worth noting: the old copper phone network (PSTN) is being switched off by Openreach in January 2027. If you still use a traditional landline or have a broadband service tied to the copper network, you will need to move to a digital voice service before then. Your ISP should contact you directly, but it is worth checking now if you are unsure.
