Ultrafast broadband

JoBurges — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 11:32:46 GMT

We are thinking of moving house and the property currently has standard broadband. I believe Ultrafast Openreach is available and would like to know what is involved in making that happen, plus any cost implications moving forward.

Many thanks

If you visit BT.com you will be able to see what's available to you at what price and any set-up costs

Thank you. However we haven’t bought the property yet so I’m trying to check things remotely (so it’s not like checking what’s available to me where I currently live). I don’t know how to do that. As I work from home this is a crucial part of our decision about whether to buy the house.

Thank you again

If you put the full address (not just postcode) in the checker you will see what is available. Post a screenshot of the results if you are not sure. https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL

So I've managed to get the results which is great but I'm not sure I understand what they mean. As suggested here's a screenshot:

I really appreciate your help. Thank you
