About Broadband in Fairfield
Fairfield is in Croydon. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 890 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 Fairfield?
Fairfield sits in the London Borough of Croydon and is one of the better-connected parts of outer London when it comes to broadband. Full fibre (FTTP) is available at speeds of around 890 Mbps, placing Fairfield comfortably ahead of the UK national average: as of Spring 2026, 82% of UK premises can access FTTP and 89% can access a gigabit-capable connection.
As a London location, Fairfield benefits from competition between several alternative network operators. Community Fibre, G.Network, and Hyperoptic are all active in the London area, offering full fibre packages that bypass Openreach's infrastructure entirely. G.Network has been expanding its London footprint during 2026, which means additional choice may be coming to parts of Croydon in the near term, though no confirmed street-level rollout dates for Fairfield specifically have been published at the time of writing.
On the Openreach side, mainstream ISPs including BT, Sky, Vodafone, and EE all sell full fibre packages over the national network where it is available. BT Group's latest results (May 2026) confirmed Openreach has now passed 23 million UK premises with full fibre, with take-up continuing to grow nationally.
One change that will affect every home in Fairfield: Openreach is switching off the old copper PSTN phone network in January 2027. If you still use a traditional landline or have devices that rely on the analogue phone line, such as older alarm systems or telecare equipment, you will need to move to a digital voice service before then. Openreach has confirmed there will be no immediate cut-off for those who have not yet switched, but the February 2027 deadline is firm (ISPreview, June 2026).
