No location-specific rollout announcements for Boney Hay or the wider Lichfield district have been published by ISPreview or Openreach at the time of writing. The infrastructure already in place means residents are not waiting on a future build: full fibre is live and orderable today through a range of ISPs using the Openreach network, including BT, EE, Sky, Vodafone, Plusnet, and smaller providers such as Aquiss.
Lichfield sits in the Staffordshire corridor served primarily by Openreach. There is no confirmed CityFibre or major independent altnet (such as Zzoomm or Fibrus) footprint in this specific postcode area at present. If you are looking for alternative network options, it is worth checking availability by postcode, as altnet builds can change quickly.
One deadline worth noting: Openreach is switching off the old copper PSTN phone network in January 2027. If your current phone or broadband service still runs over a traditional copper line, you will need to migrate to a digital alternative, such as a VoIP service bundled with your full fibre package, before that date. Most ISPs are actively contacting affected customers, but it is worth checking with your provider now if you are unsure.
