About Broadband in Tower
Tower is in City of London. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 885 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 Tower?
Tower sits at the heart of the City of London, one of the most densely connected square miles in the country. Full fibre (FTTP) coverage here is effectively complete, with Openreach's gigabit network reaching the vast majority of premises. Speeds of around 885 Mbps are typical on current full fibre packages, well ahead of the UK national average, where gigabit-capable coverage stood at 89% of premises as of Spring 2026, and FTTP specifically at around 82%.
No ISPreview news from 2025 or 2026 specifically reports a new Openreach rollout in Tower or the City of London, which is broadly expected: urban central London was among the earliest parts of the UK to receive full fibre infrastructure, and major build campaigns have long concluded. The area benefits from multiple competing networks rather than a single rollout announcement.
Alongside Openreach, Community Fibre operates its own independent full fibre network across large parts of London, including areas bordering Tower, and is often able to offer competitive pricing on gigabit packages. CityFibre also has a significant presence in central London postcodes, providing an additional alternative to Openreach-based providers such as BT, Sky, Vodafone, and Zen.
One change affecting all Tower residents is the PSTN copper switch-off, confirmed for January 2027. Openreach has stated there will be no sudden disconnection on that date for the 1.9 million lines yet to migrate (ISPreview, June 2026), but anyone still on a traditional landline phone service should arrange a switch to a digital voice service before then to avoid any disruption.
