Broadband
The broadband availability for Pitchcombe and Edge is rapidly improving.
- Fastershire – Ultrafast fibre broadband to rural areas – delivered by Gigaclear
- 4G/5G – Mobile phone technology
- OpenReach – Fibre to the cabinet
- Starlink – Elon Musk’s satellites
These development mean that high speed broadband will be available at reasonable prices.
At the moment competition is very strong in the area of 4G/5G. Prices have come down significantly and new antennae are going up all the time.

Telephone
There are now three options for telephone services:
- BT – Landline
- VOIP – Voice Over Internet Protocol
- Mobile – 4G/5G
For £12 you can transfer your landline number to VOIP
VOIP – provides a full-featured telephone service through the internet. You need an adapter connects your telephones to the modem.
If you have fibre or 4G/5G then you can get rid of your landline and switch the telephone service to VOIP. The savings from the line rental could be significant.
