Landlord Questions for Full Fibre Installation

As a landlord, providing a reliable internet connection is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s one of the most important utilities for your tenants. With the UK moving away from old copper lines, now is the right time to future-proof your property

Copper Is Being Switched Off

BT Openreach is retiring the copper phone network across the UK. By 2027, all copper services will be withdrawn. This means that properties still relying on copper connections will face service shutdowns.
👉 Upgrading to Full Fibre now avoids disruption for your tenants and keeps your property compliant.


Full Fibre Increases Property Appeal

Tenants expect fast, reliable internet. In fact, broadband speed is one of the top factors renters consider when choosing a home.

  • Higher rental value: Properties with Full Fibre can command higher rents.

  • Faster lets: Good broadband makes your property more attractive on listings.

  • Better tenant retention: Happy tenants stay longer, reducing your turnover costs.


Reliability Means Fewer Complaints

Copper connections are prone to faults, slow speeds, and interference. That often means more tenant complaints for you to handle.
Full Fibre delivers:

  • Consistent speeds (up to 1Gbps and beyond).

  • Lower latency for streaming, gaming, and remote work.

  • Fewer service issues, meaning fewer support calls from tenants to you.


Futureproof Your Investment

Full Fibre isn’t just faster today — it’s built for tomorrow. As more services (TV, smart home devices, work-from-home platforms) demand higher bandwidth, fibre ensures your property keeps up for years to come.


Easy Upgrade, Minimal Disruption

We’ll liaise with you and your tenants, ensure all permissions are sorted (including wayleaves for MDUs), and keep disruption to an absolute minimum.

✅ Protect your property from obsolescence
