About Broadband in Bloomsbury
Bloomsbury is in Camden. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 882 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 Bloomsbury?
Bloomsbury sits in one of the best-connected parts of the UK for full fibre broadband. The area benefits from genuine competition between several alternative network operators, giving residents access to speeds of around 882 Mbps on full fibre (FTTP) connections, well above the UK national average of 82% FTTP coverage and 89% gigabit availability as of Spring 2026.
Three altnets are active across central London including Bloomsbury: Community Fibre, G.Network, and Hyperoptic. Of these, G.Network is currently expanding its coverage across London as of June 2026, which may bring additional choice to streets not yet on their network. Community Fibre remains one of the most competitively priced gigabit providers in the capital. Hyperoptic focuses heavily on flats and apartment blocks, making it a strong option for residents in Bloomsbury's many period-conversion and purpose-built buildings.
On top of these, Openreach's FTTP network underpins packages from mainstream ISPs including BT, Sky, Vodafone, and EE, adding further competition at the point of sale even if the underlying infrastructure is shared.
One broader change worth knowing about: Openreach has confirmed the PSTN copper phone network will be switched off in January 2027. If you still use a traditional landline phone plugged directly into the wall socket, you will need to switch to a digital voice (VoIP) service before that date. Most ISPs will handle this migration automatically when you move to a full fibre package.
