About Broadband in Farnham
Farnham is in Buckinghamshire. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 892 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.

What's Happening with Broadband in Farnham?
Farnham sits in a strong position for broadband connectivity. The town has access to full fibre (FTTP) speeds of up to 892 Mbps, placing it well ahead of many rural parts of Buckinghamshire and comfortably above the national gigabit availability figure of 89% as of Spring 2026.
Openreach remains the primary network infrastructure provider across Farnham and the surrounding area, having expanded its full fibre footprint significantly across Buckinghamshire over the past two years. In addition to Openreach, residents may find coverage from regional altnets such as Gigaclear, which has been active in rural Buckinghamshire, and CityFibre, which continues to build out its footprint across market towns in the South East. Availability varies by street and postcode, so it is worth checking directly.
One deadline worth noting: BT is switching off the old copper PSTN telephone network in January 2027. If your current broadband or landline service still runs over copper infrastructure, your provider is required to migrate you to a digital alternative before that date. Most full fibre services in Farnham are already unaffected, but if you are on an older ADSL or FTTC package, now is a good time to check your upgrade options.
