About Broadband in Chittlehampton
Chittlehampton is in Mid Devon. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 868 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.

What's Happening with Broadband in Chittlehampton?
Chittlehampton is in a strong position by rural Devon standards. Full fibre (FTTP) is available in the village, with speeds reaching around 868 Mbps, putting it well ahead of the national average. Across the UK in Spring 2026, roughly 82% of premises can access FTTP and 89% can access gigabit-capable broadband, but rural North Devon locations often lag those figures considerably. Chittlehampton bucking that trend is worth noting.
The network is delivered via Openreach, whose national full fibre rollout has now passed 23 million premises. Multiple ISPs sell over the Openreach infrastructure here, including BT, Sky, EE, Vodafone, and Plusnet, so residents can compare providers without being locked into one supplier. Smaller independent ISPs such as Aquiss and Wessex Internet also serve parts of the South West and are worth checking for competitive pricing.
No specific rollout announcements or infrastructure news for Chittlehampton or the wider Mid Devon and North Devon area were found in published sources at the time of writing. The information above reflects general Openreach coverage data rather than a confirmed local project update.
One change that will affect every household in the village is the PSTN copper switch-off. Openreach is retiring the old analogue phone network by January 2027, meaning anyone still on a traditional copper phone line will need to move to a digital voice service (typically VoIP over your broadband router) before then. If you have a landline or rely on copper for a monitored alarm or telecare device, contact your provider now to arrange the migration.
