What's Happening with Broadband in Drewsteignton?
Drewsteignton is in a strong position by rural Devon standards. Full fibre (FTTP) is available in the village, with speeds reaching around 868 Mbps on Openreach's network. That puts Drewsteignton well ahead of many comparable villages in Mid Devon, where older FTTC or copper-only connections are still common.
Nationally, gigabit-capable broadband now reaches 89% of UK premises, with full fibre (FTTP) at around 82%, according to Ofcom's Spring 2026 figures. Drewsteignton's FTTP availability places it firmly in the connected minority for its geography, a result of Openreach's continued rural Devon rollout under the government's Project Gigabit programme, which has targeted hard-to-reach communities across the South West.
No ISP-specific rollout announcements mentioning Drewsteignton or Mid Devon were identified in trade sources at the time of writing. If you are on an older FTTC or copper connection and FTTP has not yet reached your street or property, it is worth checking availability by postcode, as coverage can vary significantly even within a small village.
One date worth noting is January 2027, when Openreach will complete the national PSTN copper phone network switch-off. If you still use a traditional landline phone, you will need to switch to a digital voice (VoIP) service before then. Most ISPs are contacting affected customers, but if you have not heard from your provider, raise it directly with them.
For Devon rural coverage, Wessex Internet operates an altnet FTTP network across parts of the South West and may serve postcodes close to Drewsteignton where Openreach has not yet reached. It is worth checking their coverage map alongside the main ISPs.
