Plymouth has strong full fibre coverage across most of the city, with 79% of premises able to access FTTP and 95% reaching gigabit speeds. However, availability varies significantly by neighbourhood, so checking your specific postcode is essential before committing to a provider.
Southway, Derriford, and Estover have excellent FTTP coverage with strong competition from both Openreach providers and alternative networks like CityFibre. Mutley, Peverell, and Stoke benefit from comprehensive full fibre availability plus Virgin Media’s cable network, giving residents multiple ultrafast options.
St Budeaux, Honicknowle, and Kings Tamerton in the west have good Virgin Media coverage but more limited alternative provider choices. Plympton, Plymstock, and Chaddlewood in the eastern suburbs show patchier FTTP availability, with some streets well served while others may have fewer full fibre options. Devonport and the waterfront areas have mixed coverage, though parts now benefit from Virgin Media’s newest full-fibre technology upgrades offering speeds up to 2Gbps.

Plymouth residents enjoy strong ultrafast broadband availability overall, with over 95% of homes able to access gigabit speeds. This high coverage comes primarily from Virgin Media’s extensive cable network covering 87% of the city, combined with Openreach full fibre reaching 79% of premises.
The lower alternative network presence at 22% means most households will be choosing between Openreach-based providers and Virgin Media rather than comparing multiple independent networks. With superfast broadband available to 99% of properties and less than 1% stuck on basic copper connections, virtually every Plymouth home can access modern high-speed internet, though specific options depend heavily on your exact location.

For budget-conscious households with modest internet needs, Three offers the cheapest entry point at £16 per month for 10Mbps speeds. This works for light browsing and email but may struggle with multiple users or video streaming.
Most Plymouth homes can access faster superfast or ultrafast packages at competitive prices, so compare deals across Openreach providers, Virgin Media, and any alternative networks available at your postcode to find the best value for your usage.
Speed seekers in Plymouth can access Sky’s ultrafast 5000Mbps (5Gbps) service at £80 per month, available in areas covered by CityFibre’s network including Southway, Derriford, Peverell, Mutley, and Stoke. Virgin Media also offers speeds up to 2Gbps in many parts of the city.
These extreme speeds suit tech enthusiasts, large households with heavy simultaneous usage, or home workers handling large file transfers, though most users will find 150-500Mbps packages perfectly adequate.
