What's Happening with Broadband in Fareham Town?
Fareham Town is well connected by UK standards. Full fibre (FTTP) is available across the town centre via Openreach, with typical download speeds around 894 Mbps, placing it comfortably ahead of the national FTTP availability figure of 82% and the gigabit coverage rate of 89% recorded in Spring 2026. For most households in Fareham Town, there is no longer any reason to settle for a slower FTTC or ADSL connection.
No Fareham-specific Openreach expansion announcements were found in recent ISPreview reporting at the time of writing (June 2026), which suggests the main build programme here is largely complete rather than still in progress. That is good news: it means full fibre is already available at most addresses rather than being a future promise.
Beyond Openreach, toob operates its own independent full fibre network across parts of Hampshire and the wider south coast. toob has been expanding steadily through Portsmouth, Southampton, and surrounding areas, so it is worth checking whether their network has reached your specific street in Fareham Town as an alternative to Openreach-based providers.
One change that affects everyone in the area is the PSTN copper switch-off, due to complete by January 2027. Openreach has confirmed that any remaining analogue phone lines will be migrated to digital Voice over IP services before that deadline. If your household still uses a traditional landline and has not already switched, contact your current provider to arrange the move before the deadline arrives.
