About Broadband in Clare & Shuttern
Clare & Shuttern is in Mid Devon. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 859 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 Clare & Shuttern?
Clare & Shuttern sits in the rural heart of Mid Devon, and residents here are in a strong position compared to much of the surrounding countryside. Full fibre (FTTP) broadband is available at this location, with speeds up to approximately 859 Mbps, delivered via Openreach's national fibre network. That puts Clare & Shuttern comfortably above the UK average: nationally, around 82% of premises can access FTTP and 89% can access gigabit-capable broadband as of Spring 2026, but rural Devon has historically lagged those figures significantly, making this level of connectivity genuinely notable for the area.
No location-specific rollout announcements for Clare & Shuttern or the wider Mid Devon district were found in the ISPreview news archive at the time of writing, so no specific project dates or named schemes can be cited here. What is known is that Openreach has invested up to £15 billion to reach 25 million UK premises with full fibre by the end of 2026, with rural areas increasingly included in later build phases.
For rural Devon broadly, the main alternative network operator to be aware of is Wessex Internet, which has been building its own full fibre network across parts of the South West, including areas of Devon and Somerset. Their coverage does not extend to all rural parishes, but it is worth checking separately if you want a second provider option.
One national change that will affect all households here is the PSTN copper phone network switch-off, scheduled for January 2027. If you or anyone in your household still uses a traditional landline phone, you will need to move to a digital voice (VoIP) service before that date. Most broadband providers now offer this as part of their packages, but it is worth confirming with your current supplier.
