Full fibre (FTTP) is available in this area at speeds up to ~896 Mbps, putting it broadly in line with the national picture: as of H2 2025, gigabit-capable broadband covers around 89% of UK premises, with FTTP specifically reaching approximately 82%, according to ISPreview.co.uk's coverage tracker.
No Openreach rollout announcement specific to Druids Heath and Monyhull has been published in the trade press at the time of writing. Openreach continues to expand its national FTTP network toward a target of 25 million premises by the end of 2026, and Birmingham as a whole has benefited from that programme. CityFibre also has a presence across Birmingham, meaning some streets in this part of the city may have a second full fibre network available, with ISPs including Vodafone and TalkTalk offering services over that infrastructure.
One change that will affect every household in Druids Heath and Monyhull is the PSTN copper switch-off. Openreach has confirmed the analogue phone network closes in January 2027, with the migration to digital (VoIP) phone services already under way. ISPreview reported in June 2026 that around 1.9 million UK lines have yet to complete the switch, so if your home phone still runs over a traditional copper line, you should check with your provider now. The good news is that if you are already on a full fibre connection, your broadband will not be affected by the switch-off.
