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.
