No location-specific rollout announcements for Falsgrave or Stepney have been published on ISPreview or by Openreach at the time of writing. The absence of news is broadly positive: areas still awaiting builds tend to attract the most coverage, while those already connected quietly move on.

For those on older copper phone lines, the PSTN switch-off is scheduled for January 2027.
