The Hampshire area is also served by toob, a Southampton-based altnet operating its own full fibre network across parts of the county, which may offer an alternative provider option depending on your exact postcode.
One change all households should be aware of: Openreach is switching off the old analogue copper phone network (PSTN) in January 2027. As of June 2026, around 1.9 million UK lines have yet to migrate to a digital alternative, according to Openreach (ISPreview, 11 June 2026). If your landline still runs over the old copper network, you will need to move to a VoIP or digital phone service before the cut-off. Most ISPs offering full fibre packages include a digital phone option as standard.
