About Broadband in Faringdon
Faringdon is in Vale of White Horse. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 864 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.

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 Faringdon?
Faringdon is well served by full fibre broadband. Full fibre (FTTP) speeds of around 864 Mbps are available in the town, putting it ahead of the UK national average: as of Spring 2026, roughly 82% of UK premises can access FTTP and 89% have access to gigabit-capable broadband. Faringdon's availability comfortably clears both thresholds.
No Faringdon-specific rollout announcements have been reported by ISPreview or other trade sources at the time of writing. The infrastructure already in place is primarily delivered via Openreach's national FTTP network, which passed 23 million UK premises by May 2026 and is targeting 25 million by the end of December 2026. Residents can order full fibre through a wide range of ISPs that resell on the Openreach platform, including BT, Sky, EE, Vodafone, Plusnet, and smaller independents.
For residents in the wider Vale of White Horse area, Gigaclear is the most relevant altnet to check. The rural-focused provider operates FTTP networks across parts of Oxfordshire and neighbouring counties, and may cover villages and hamlets on the outskirts of Faringdon where Openreach coverage is thinner.
One change that will affect all Faringdon households is the PSTN copper switch-off. Openreach has confirmed the analogue phone network will close in January 2027. If your landline phone still runs over a traditional copper line rather than a digital or VoIP service, you will need to switch before that date. Your broadband provider can advise on compatible alternatives, and the process is straightforward for most households.
