About Broadband in Eyres Monsell
Eyres Monsell is in Blaby. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 897 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 Eyres Monsell?
Eyres Monsell is in a strong position compared to most of the UK. The area has access to full fibre (FTTP) broadband capable of speeds around 897 Mbps, delivered over Openreach's national fibre-to-the-premises network.

No specific Openreach expansion announcements for Eyres Monsell or the wider Blaby district were found in the recent trade press at the time of writing. That is not unusual for an urban suburb of Leicester: Openreach typically prioritises announcing new-build areas or rural extensions, while densely populated areas within the city fringe often receive fibre quietly as part of broader regional rollout programmes. If you want to confirm exactly which services pass your address, the postcode checker below will give you a live picture.
On the provider side, Eyres Monsell sits within reach of Openreach-based ISPs including BT, Sky, EE, Vodafone, Plusnet, TalkTalk, and a range of smaller independents. CityFibre has an active presence in Leicester and is worth checking as an alternative full fibre network in the city, with ISPs such as Vodafone and Zen Internet offering services over it.
One national change that affects all households in the area: Openreach has confirmed the PSTN copper phone network closes on 31 January 2027. If your landline still runs on the old analogue system, your provider should contact you to arrange a switch to a digital voice service before that date. Openreach has stated that anyone who has not migrated by the deadline will not face an immediate disconnection, but copper-dependent broadband connections will not be supported beyond that point.
