Comparing home broadband in Durham

The central Durham telephone exchange has been upgraded to be ready for superfast fibre broadband from BT and others, with outlying exchanges in areas such as Brandon and Ushaw Moor also on the upgrade radar. 

The majority of premises in Durham now have access to both ADSL and superfast fibre broadband via the telephone line, with most services also offering unlimited broadband. Unfortunately though Virgin Media’s fibre network is not currently available in the Durham area.
