What's Happening with Broadband in Eccleston, Heskin & Charnock Richard?
Eccleston, Heskin and Charnock Richard are well-served by Openreach's full fibre (FTTP) network, with speeds reaching around 890 Mbps available to homes and businesses across these Chorley villages. That puts this area ahead of the national picture: as of Spring 2026, roughly 82% of UK premises have access to full fibre and 89% can get gigabit-capable broadband, according to Ofcom's Connected Nations figures.
No specific Openreach expansion announcements for Eccleston, Heskin or Charnock Richard have been published on ISPreview or by Openreach as of June 2026. The area's existing coverage is served through Openreach's commercial rollout rather than a publicly subsidised scheme, meaning no BDUK voucher funding is currently listed for these postcodes.
In terms of alternative network providers, the semi-rural character of this part of Chorley means altnets such as Voneus and Quickline have been active in nearby Lancashire villages, though neither has publicly confirmed builds in these three specific communities. It is worth checking availability at your postcode, as altnet coverage can change quickly.
One change that will affect every household here is the PSTN copper switch-off. Openreach has confirmed the old analogue phone network closes in January 2027, with the formal cutover date set for 1 February 2027. If you or someone in your household still relies on a traditional landline, or uses a copper-dependent service such as a telecare alarm or older ADSL broadband, now is the time to migrate to a digital voice or full fibre package. Openreach has stated there will be no sudden disconnection for those who have not yet switched, but it is best not to leave it late.
