No specific Openreach expansion announcements for Tottington or the wider Bury borough have appeared in recent trade coverage. ISPreview, which tracks Openreach rollout news closely, has not reported any new build activity in this postcode area in the most recent months. That said, Openreach continues its national programme toward 25 million premises by the end of December 2026, so further coverage improvements across Greater Manchester remain possible.
In terms of alternative network providers, Tottington sits within the Greater Manchester region where CityFibre has been active in nearby towns. It is worth checking whether their network has reached your specific street, as availability can vary significantly at postcode level even within the same town.
One change coming for everyone in Tottington is the PSTN copper switch-off, now confirmed for January 2027. Openreach has stated there will be no sudden service loss for those who have not yet migrated, but households still relying on a traditional analogue phone line should arrange a switch to a digital voice service before that date. Full fibre connections already use Voice over IP (VoIP), so FTTP customers are unaffected.
