What's Happening with Broadband in Chagford?
Chagford is one of the better-connected rural towns in Dartmoor, Devon, with full fibre (FTTP) broadband available delivering speeds of around 868 Mbps to many premises. That puts it comfortably ahead of the national picture: across the UK as a whole, gigabit-capable broadband covers around 89% of premises and full fibre (FTTP) specifically reaches about 82%, according to Ofcom's Spring 2026 data. For a market town sitting within a national park, access to genuine gigabit speeds is notably strong.
No specific Openreach or altnet rollout announcements for Chagford were found in the trade press at the time of writing (June 2026). The coverage that exists here is served primarily by Openreach's FTTP network, accessible via mainstream ISPs including BT, Sky, EE, Vodafone, and Plusnet. Independent rural specialists such as Wessex Internet, which operates across the South West, and Gigaclear, which targets harder-to-reach Devon and Somerset communities, are worth checking for your specific postcode if Openreach coverage does not reach your address.
One change every Chagford household should be aware of: Openreach is switching off the old analogue copper phone network (PSTN) in January 2027. If you or anyone in your household still relies on a traditional landline, you will need to switch to a digital voice service (VoIP) before then. ISPs are contacting affected customers directly, but it is worth checking with your provider now rather than waiting.
