The infrastructure here is delivered via Openreach, BT's national network arm, which passed 23 million UK premises with full fibre by May 2026 and is targeting 25 million by the end of December 2026. For this part of the Peterborough fringe, Openreach remains the dominant provider with no significant altnet presence confirmed. Providers such as CityFibre and Gigaclear have focused their builds on larger urban centres and some rural areas under BDUK contracts, but neither has announced coverage plans for Eye or Thorney.
One change that will affect every household in the area is the PSTN copper switch-off. Openreach has confirmed that the old analogue phone network closes in early 2027, with the formal deadline set for 1 February 2027. Speaking in June 2026, Openreach's Senior Manager for All IP Migrations confirmed around 1.9 million UK lines had yet to switch to a digital alternative (source: ISPreview, 11 June 2026). If you still use a traditional landline phone in Eye or Thorney, you will need to move to a VoIP or digital service before that date. Your broadband provider can advise on options.
