No specific local rollout announcements for Castle & Priory or Dudley have been published on ISPreview or by Openreach as of June 2026. However, Openreach confirmed in May 2026 that engineers had recently started FTTP builds in nearby Stourbridge, just a few miles south-west, as part of a wider West Midlands push (ISPreview, 27 May 2026). That activity reflects the broader regional momentum rather than a specific Castle & Priory announcement.
On the altnet side, Virgin Media has long-running cable infrastructure across much of the Dudley borough, offering a second gigabit-capable option alongside Openreach-based ISPs. CityFibre does not currently list Dudley as an active build area, but its West Midlands footprint continues to expand.
One change that will affect every household in Castle & Priory: the old copper telephone network (PSTN) is switching off in January 2027. Openreach has confirmed the deadline holds, with around 1.9 million UK lines still to migrate as of June 2026. If you use a landline or a broadband service still running on copper, you will need to move to a digital phone service before then. Most ISPs are handling this automatically for existing customers, but it is worth confirming with your provider.
