More than 2,500 homes and businesses in Brampton are set to get access to full fibre, according to Openreach.
The rural market town joins thirty other towns and villages in Cumbria already included in Openreach’s commercial build plans.
Openreach is building full fibre faster and further than any other UK provider – reaching around 60k new premises every week.

Openreach intends to keep building after it reaches its initial 25 million target, reaching up to 30 million premises with Full Fibre by the end of 2030.
Clive Selley, CEO, Openreach, said: “This is a national infrastructure project that’s a genuine success story. We’re delivering engineering on an epic scale, on time and on budget – and that’s thanks to a supportive policy environment which has led to huge investment and competition throughout the UK’s telecoms sector."
