About Broadband in Longlevens
Longlevens is in Gloucester. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 874 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.

No specific Openreach or altnet rollout announcements for Longlevens or Gloucester city have been published by ISPreview at the time of writing. The full fibre infrastructure already serving the area is the most likely product of Openreach's ongoing FTTP build programme across Gloucestershire, which has been expanding steadily through the city and its suburbs over recent years.
For residents who have not yet switched to full fibre, it is worth checking availability directly. Openreach is the dominant network here, with retail providers including BT, Sky, Vodafone, and TalkTalk all selling products over the same physical infrastructure. Gigaclear operates as an altnet across rural Gloucestershire, though coverage in Longlevens itself is limited. Virgin Media has a presence in parts of Gloucester and may serve some streets in the area.
One deadline worth noting: BT will complete the PSTN copper telephone network switch-off in January 2027. If anyone in Longlevens is still on an older ADSL or FTTC copper broadband line, that connection relies on the copper phone network. Providers are contacting affected customers, but it is worth getting ahead of this and upgrading to a full fibre or cable package before the deadline.
