What is Openreach?
Openreach is the company that maintains the former British Telecom Network used for the majority of broadband and phone services. If a repair or installation is required, it’s Openreach who will send an engineer, not your provider.
More than 650 service providers using the Openreach network. That’s the majority of the UK’s broadband providers. This includes Sky, TalkTalk and BT. The exception to this is Virgin Media - it uses its own, separate cable network.
Full fibre broadband (FTTP) is also available at many exchanges across Stoke including Burslem, Longton and Milton Lee, however, this doesn't mean it will be available to every address.

Comparing mobile broadband in Stoke-on-Trent
All the four network operators - EE, Three, O2 and Vodafone - provide strong signal across Stoke-on-Trent. 4G is widely available on every network in both central areas and the outskirts, including locations such as Norton Green, Wolstanton, Kidsgrove, Longton and Werrington.
5G mobile broadband is also on offer from most networks, but coverage isn't as extensive as 4G, so you may find signal becomes patchy further from the central areas.
Before buying any mobile internet package, it's crucial to check the network coverage. Aside from finding out whether there’s any signal at all, you want to find out if it’s strong enough, as a weak connection will be significantly slower. Keep a lookout for areas where the coverage is ‘outdoor only’. You can click the logos below to access the official network coverage tools:
