Mendip’s broadband landscape divides sharply between well-connected market towns and rural areas where coverage remains patchy. Full-fibre availability stands at 81.4%, concentrated primarily in urban centres, while the surrounding countryside often relies on older technology or has limited options entirely.
Glastonbury, Wells, and Shepton Mallet benefit from comprehensive full-fibre coverage through both Openreach and independent providers, giving residents access to gigabit-capable connections and competitive pricing. Croscombe, Doulting, and Evercreech also have good full-fibre availability extending from the main towns, placing these villages among the better-connected rural communities.
Wookey Hole, Godney, and Meare face much more limited full-fibre availability despite their proximity to Wells, with many properties relying on part-fibre or slower connections. Priddy, Pilton, and Batcombe have minimal full-fibre presence, reflecting the challenges of serving scattered hamlets across the Mendip Hills and Somerset Levels where infrastructure rollout remains incomplete.

Independent full-fibre providers cover 59.2% of Mendip, above the national average, with particularly strong availability in Glastonbury, Wells, Shepton Mallet, and Coleford where they offer competitive alternatives to Openreach.
Scattered coverage also reaches Meare, Westhay, and Pedwell, though most rural villages across the Somerset Levels and Mendip uplands have very limited altnet presence.

Mendip’s 81.4% gigabit coverage comes almost entirely from Openreach full-fibre, as Virgin Media’s cable network reaches just 9.17% of premises, one of the lowest figures in the country and typical of rural districts where cable was never laid.
The strong AltNet presence at 59.2% provides welcome competition in covered areas, often delivering better pricing and customer service than major providers. While 95.5% of homes can access part-fibre speeds, the rural nature of the district means availability varies dramatically between well-connected towns and the surrounding countryside, making postcode checks essential before committing to any property.
