About Broadband in Charlton Kings
Charlton Kings is in Cheltenham. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 877 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 Charlton Kings?
Charlton Kings is well served by full fibre broadband. The area benefits from Openreach's Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network, with speeds available up to around 877 Mbps. That puts Charlton Kings comfortably ahead of the UK national average: as of Spring 2026, roughly 82% of UK premises can access FTTP and 89% can access gigabit-capable broadband, according to Ofcom's Connected Nations data.
No Openreach-specific rollout announcements for Charlton Kings or Cheltenham have been published on ISPreview in recent months. That is not unusual for areas where the core build is already complete. Openreach's current focus is on reaching its target of 25 million UK premises by the end of December 2026, with a further ambition to extend coverage to 30 million by 2030.
Cheltenham is also one of CityFibre's target cities. CityFibre has been building an independent full fibre network across Cheltenham, meaning some addresses in and around Charlton Kings may have a choice of network infrastructure. Where CityFibre is available, ISPs including Vodafone, TalkTalk and others offer packages over it, which can increase competition and keep prices lower.
One national change worth noting: Openreach is switching off the old copper PSTN phone network in January 2027. If you still use a traditional landline phone or any service that relies on the copper network, such as a monitored alarm or a care line, you will need to switch to a digital voice service before then. Your broadband provider can advise on options.
