What's Happening with Broadband in Coity Higher?
Coity Higher is well served by full fibre broadband. Openreach's FTTP network reaches the vast majority of premises here, with typical speeds around 887 Mbps, putting the area comfortably ahead of the national average. Across the UK as a whole, FTTP coverage stood at approximately 82% and gigabit-capable coverage at around 89% in Spring 2026. Wales as a whole is performing strongly: Openreach confirmed in June 2026 that their full fibre network now passes more than 1.25 million premises, representing over 81% of Wales, up from around 1 million at the end of 2024. Take-up in Wales is approaching 50% of those passed, notably ahead of the UK-wide figure of 38% (source: ISPreview, 3rd June 2026).
No altnet has announced specific build plans for Coity Higher at the time of writing. The two most active alternative full fibre providers in South Wales are Ogi, which focuses on South and West Wales, and TfW Fibre (Transport for Wales Fibre), which is primarily active in Cardiff and the Valleys. Neither currently serves this part of the Bridgend area, so Openreach remains the primary wholesale infrastructure provider for the village.
One deadline that affects all properties in Coity Higher is the PSTN copper phone switch-off. Openreach has confirmed that the old analogue phone network will close on 31st January 2027, with no further delays planned. Households still on a traditional landline will need to move to a digital voice service delivered over their broadband connection before that date. For those already on FTTP, this transition is straightforward and most providers handle it automatically (source: ISPreview, 11th June 2026).
