What's Happening with Broadband in City Walls?
City Walls sits within Derry City and Strabane, one of the better-served areas of Northern Ireland for full fibre broadband. Gigabit-capable FTTP connections reaching speeds of around 892 Mbps are available here, putting the area ahead of the UK national average: as of Spring 2026, roughly 82% of UK premises can access full fibre and 89% can access gigabit-capable services, according to Ofcom's Connected Nations data.
The primary full fibre provider in this part of Northern Ireland is Fibrus, the region's leading alternative network operator. Fibrus surpassed 150,000 customers in May 2026 and now covers more than 330,000 premises across Northern Ireland, making it the most significant FTTP altnet in the province (source: ISPreview, May 2026). Openreach, BT's network arm, is also active in Northern Ireland and continues to expand its own full fibre footprint alongside Fibrus.
In March 2026, Openreach appointed a new permanent Northern Ireland Director, signalling continued investment and commitment to the region (source: ISPreview, March 2026). BT also signed a £200 million deal with Northern Ireland Electricity Networks in the same month to upgrade connectivity infrastructure across the country, a development that is expected to support ongoing broadband build programmes.
No specific City Walls rollout announcements have been published at the time of writing. Residents and businesses here should be aware that the PSTN copper network switch-off is scheduled for January 2027, meaning any remaining landline or broadband services still running over old copper lines will need to migrate to a digital alternative before that date.
