Openreach says the rollout will give residents access to faster and more reliable internet, with speeds capable of supporting multiple devices and high‑bandwidth activities like streaming, gaming and video calls.
The company says the build will reach the majority of properties in Clydach, although some disruption is expected as engineering teams install new poles, ducts and fibre cables. Where possible, Openreach says it will use existing infrastructure to minimise roadworks and street furniture.
Martin Williams, Openreach’s Partnership Director for Wales, said:
“We’re bringing full fibre broadband to Clydach and letting local people know what to expect. This is a major infrastructure upgrade, so there will be more engineering teams, equipment and vans around town, and we’re working hard to keep disruption to a minimum.”
He added that the company is aiming to reduce its environmental impact during the rollout, as part of its wider sustainability strategy.
Residents can check availability and register for updates via the Openreach website as the build progresses.
Openreach’s full fibre network currently reaches more than 20 million properties across the UK. The company plans to extend this to 25 million by the end of 2026, and says it could reach 30 million by 2030 depending on investment conditions.
