Nationally, gigabit-capable broadband reached approximately 89% of UK premises by H2 2025, with full fibre coverage at around 82% (source: ISPreview.co.uk, January 2026).

No specific rollout announcements for Farington West or the wider Chorley area have been reported by ISPreview or Openreach at the time of writing. The primary network serving this part of Lancashire is Openreach, which has been investing up to £15 billion to reach 25 million UK premises with full fibre by the end of 2026. Once connected via Openreach's FTTP infrastructure, residents can choose from a wide range of retail ISPs including BT, Sky, EE, Plusnet, Vodafone, and smaller providers such as Aquiss.
It is also worth noting that CityFibre has been expanding across parts of Lancashire, though coverage in Farington West specifically is not confirmed. If you are close to Preston or Leyland, it is worth checking whether an alternative network has reached your street.
One important change is coming for all UK households: Openreach is switching off the old copper PSTN phone network in January 2027. If you still use a landline on a traditional copper line, you will need to migrate to a digital voice service over your broadband connection before that date. Your ISP should contact you, but it is worth checking now if you have not already made the switch.
