About Broadband in Longlands
Longlands is in Bexley. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 891 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.
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 Longlands?
Longlands sits in the London Borough of Bexley and benefits from full fibre (FTTP) availability, with speeds reaching around 891 Mbps on Openreach's network. That puts it well ahead of the UK national average: as of Spring 2026, roughly 82% of UK premises can access full fibre and 89% have access to gigabit-capable broadband, according to Ofcom. Longlands is in a strong position relative to those benchmarks.
No specific Openreach or altnet rollout announcements for Longlands or the wider Bexley area have been published on ISPreview at the time of writing, so there is no localised expansion news to report here. Coverage in this part of south-east London is largely delivered via Openreach's FTTP infrastructure, with Community Fibre also expanding its full fibre network across Greater London boroughs. Residents in Bexley should check both providers, as Community Fibre's build footprint continues to grow into outer London areas.
One change affecting every household in Longlands is the PSTN copper phone switch-off, due January 2027. Openreach has confirmed the transition will be managed gradually rather than a single cut-off event, but all landline customers still on the old copper network will need to move to a digital voice service before then. If your current broadband contract includes a traditional phone line, contact your provider now to confirm your migration plan. Homes already on full fibre are largely unaffected, as digital voice comes as standard with most FTTP packages.
