As Derry/Londonderry is part of Northern Ireland, it has been lucky to have had a strong presence of full fibre broadband for much longer than other UK countries. Full fibre has been available to the majority of Northern Ireland homes for some years, so it’s quite likely you’ll be able to get full fibre broadband in Derry/Londonderry.
Our 2024 fibre broadband study found that Northern Ireland has the highest access to full fibre out of all UK regions, with 92% of its citizens able to access the high-speed service and the highest percentage of gigabit broadband access of any UK nation, at 91%. As a result, Derry/Londonderry enjoys excellent access to full fibre high-speed broadband.
Full fibre coverage in Derry/Londonderry is mostly supplied by Openreach, which has the biggest fibre-to-the-premises network in the UK. But there is also good full fibre availability from an alternative provider called YouFibre.
You can also get similar speeds to full fibre with Virgin Media, which offers a different type of ultrafast broadband to many homes across the city too.
In order to enjoy a good 5G broadband connection, you need to ensure the network you choose has a good indoor 5G signal where you live. This is often mentioned separately to outdoor signal because 5G can often be impacted by buildings & walls - so 5G broadband is often only worth it if the signal is also strong inside, where your router will be.
Here’s a quick rundown of 5G signal strength in Derry/Londonderry by network:
Derry/Londonderry enjoys excellent 5G coverage, with 5G broadband available via mobile network operators like EE, Vodafone, and Three.
A small number of households in populated areas of the city will be able to achieve faster download speeds with 5G broadband than with fixed broadband. However, this will depend on your proximity to a 5G mast and nearby structures surrounding your home.
5G broadband is typically less reliable than a fixed solution. Derry/Londonderry benefits from access to plenty of reliable full fibre options, so consider whether 5G broadband is the best option for your needs.
