What's Happening with Broadband in Collaton St Mary?
Collaton St Mary sits within the Torbay unitary authority in South Devon, and residents here are well placed when it comes to full fibre broadband. The village has access to full fibre (FTTP) speeds of around 889 Mbps, putting it comfortably ahead of the national picture: as of Spring 2026, approximately 82% of UK premises can receive full fibre and 89% have access to gigabit-capable broadband. Collaton St Mary exceeds that baseline, making it one of the better-served rural and semi-rural communities in the South West.
Openreach has been the primary infrastructure provider rolling out FTTP across Torbay, as part of its nationwide build programme targeting 25 million premises by the end of the decade. No specific rollout announcements for Collaton St Mary were found at the time of writing, so we are unable to confirm a named completion date for this particular exchange area from a cited source.
For those still on legacy copper broadband, the PSTN copper switch-off is scheduled for January 2027. BT and other providers will be migrating all remaining customers from the old telephone network to digital voice over fibre or broadband connections before that deadline. If you have not yet been contacted by your provider about this change, it is worth checking with them directly, particularly if you rely on a landline for broadband or phone services.
Alternative network providers including Jurassic Fibre have been expanding across Devon and may serve parts of the Torbay area, so it is worth checking their coverage alongside Openreach-based providers such as BT, Sky, and Vodafone.
