Openreach vs CityFibre which network is right for you?
Two of the UK's main full-fibre networks, side by side. We deliver business broadband over both, so our advice is based on what's available and best at your premises — not which network we're tied to.
What each one actually is.
Openreach
The UK's largest network, reaching the vast majority of premises — broad availability nationwide.
CityFibre
A challenger full-fibre network rolling out across many UK cities, often with competitive full-fibre options where built.
We use both
We're network-independent, so we recommend whichever gives you the best connection where you are.
How we decide.
Availability first
We check what's actually live at your postcode on each network.
Speed & resilience
We match the package to your usage, with failover where uptime is critical.
Value
Best fit for performance and cost — not a fixed product.
