A £3.1 million project to bring full fibre internet to Sandbach has been completed, allowing more homes and businesses can now access faster broadband.

Openreach has finished a major full fibre build in the town, meaning around 11,000 homes and businesses – around 90 per cent of properties – can now access gigabit‑capable broadband.

Over 90 per cent of properties in the area are now able to upgrade their broadband service and Openreach is encouraging residents to check what's available and see if they can benefit from faster, more reliable broadband.

Full Fibre delivers a smoother online experience - faster downloads, more stable connections, and better performance when multiple devices are running at once.

Kasam Hussain, Partnership Director for the North and Midlands, said: "Most of Sandbach is now covered by full fibre but many residents and businesses still haven't made the switch.

"It's not automatic – you need to place an order with your chosen broadband provider.

"The difference in speed and reliability can be significant, especially for busy households or people working from home. We want to make sure everyone knows what's available and how to get it.

"Openreach is committed to building the best full fibre network, and doing it sustainably. Through our Let's Reach Zero strategy, we're working to reduce carbon emissions, use fewer resources, cut waste, and protect nature wherever we operate."
