No specific Openreach or altnet rollout announcements for Sherborne St John or Rooksdown were found in publicly available sources at the time of writing. If new infrastructure projects are confirmed for the Basingstoke and Deane area, this page will be updated.
For alternative providers, Gigaclear has been active across rural Hampshire and parts of North Hampshire, focusing on villages and smaller settlements that larger providers have historically underserved. It is worth checking whether their network extends to your specific postcode. Voneus also operates in parts of rural Hampshire for premises that fall outside standard FTTP build zones.
One important date to be aware of: BT and Openreach are switching off the old copper PSTN phone network in January 2027. If you or anyone in your household still uses a landline on the traditional copper network, you will need to move to a digital voice service (delivered over your broadband connection) before then. Most providers are now contacting affected customers directly, but it is worth checking with your current supplier.
