Openreach fibre broadband, made simple
We offer both Openreach full fibre and part fibre, with speeds from 40Mbps to 1000Mbps. Clear advice, flexible service, and UK-based support.
What is Openreach fibre broadband?
Openreach is the UK’s largest broadband network operator, covering around 32 million premises. Many providers use their infrastructure, but the experience you get depends on your provider.
At Home Unity, we focus on making broadband easy to understand, easy to join, and easy to manage. You get clear communication, simple choices, and support from real people.
Full fibre vs part fibre
Your address will likely have either full fibre coverage, part fibre coverage, or both. We’ll confirm what’s available when you check your postcode.
Full fibre
Full fibre means the connection runs all the way into your home using fibre optic cable. It’s the best option for speed, consistency, and future-proofing.
Best for
- Busy homes with multiple users
- Working from home and video calls
- Streaming in HD or 4K
- Homes that want the most consistent performance
Part fibre
Part fibre uses fibre to your local cabinet, then the final part comes through a copper line. It’s widely available and works well for many households, but speeds are limited.
Best for
- Everyday streaming and browsing
- One or two people online most of the time
- Homes where full fibre is not yet available
Choose the right speed for your home
You don’t need the fastest package to get a great experience. You need a speed that matches how your household uses the internet, with enough headroom for busy times.
Everyday Use
Up to 80Mbps
Ideal for smaller households with light to moderate internet use. Perfect for browsing, streaming in HD, video calls and day-to-day online tasks without fuss.
This speed suits homes where reliability matters more than raw performance.
Busy Homes & Remote Work
100-300Mbps
Designed for households with multiple people online at the same time. Ideal for working from home, frequent video calls, streaming and everyday multitasking.
A balanced option for homes that rely on a smooth, consistent connection throughout the day.
High-Demand Homes
300-1000Mbps
Built for households with heavier internet use, including 4K streaming, online gaming, large downloads and multiple users online simultaneously.
Best for homes that want extra headroom so performance stays smooth, even at the busiest times.

Frequently asked questions about Openreach broadband
Is Openreach full fibre available at my address?
It depends on your postcode. Some areas have Openreach full fibre, others have part fibre, and some have both. Check availability and we’ll confirm what your address can get.
Can I get speeds up to 1000Mbps on Openreach?
In areas with Openreach full fibre, speeds can go up to 1000Mbps depending on availability and package choice.
Do I need a phone line for Openreach broadband?
No. Part fibre uses the copper line for the final part of the connection, but you don't need a phone line. Full does not rely on the traditional copper line in the same way. We’ll confirm what applies at your address.
Do I need to contact my current provider?
No. Once you place your order, we handle the switch for you using Ofcom’s One Touch Switch process. We contact your existing provider, manage the switch and confirm your changeover date.
Will switching cause downtime?
In most cases, switching is smooth with minimal disruption. If anything is expected to affect your service, we’ll tell you in advance.
What if my needs change later?
If your broadband speed or home phone usage changes, you can speak to us and we will explain your options clearly. Our aim is to keep things flexible and easy, not to lock you into something that no longer fits.
