About Broadband in Dunloy
Dunloy is in Causeway Coast and Glens. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 872 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 Dunloy?
Dunloy is well ahead of many rural Northern Ireland villages when it comes to broadband infrastructure. Full fibre (FTTP) is available in the area, with speeds reaching around 872 Mbps, placing it firmly above the UK national gigabit availability figure of around 89% in Spring 2026. For a small settlement in the Causeway Coast and Glens district, that is a strong result.
The main driver of that progress is Fibrus, the Northern Ireland-headquartered altnet that has become the dominant FTTP provider across much of rural Ulster. By May 2026 Fibrus had passed more than 150,000 premises across its Northern Ireland network, with Causeway Coast and Glens among its core build areas. Openreach is also active in the region, extending its own full fibre rollout alongside Fibrus, giving some addresses a choice of wholesale provider.
No specific rollout announcements for Dunloy itself were found in trade press at the time of writing, so the figures above reflect current availability data rather than a reported news event.
One deadline worth noting: BT is retiring its legacy copper PSTN network in January 2027. Any residents or businesses in Dunloy still on an older copper-based phone or broadband service will need to move to a digital voice or fibre product before that date. Most providers are contacting affected customers directly, but it is worth checking proactively if you have not already done so.
