Hello
I am a new customer and I am looking to order a full fibre broadband package online.
Although the coverage checker says that the faster speeds offered by the CityFibre network are available in my street, due to not wanting to have my garden / driveway potentially dug up, I would like to utilise the Openreach network that already has underground ducts up to my house wall.
My question, therefore, is what package do I need to select on the ordering page to get the fastest speed that definitely uses Openreach?
Thanks
David

Thanks Chrisee for that info - appreciated. I live on a relatively new housing estate, but up a section of shared private driveway that CityFibre don't have automatic right of access over.
I shall investigate EE/BT.

Re: Fastest broadband using Openreach network?
@david838 if your home is covered by City Fibre Sky will use them in preference over Openreach for any full fibre service even if you already have an Openreach ONT installed. You would need to choose an ISP like EE/BT who do not use City Fibre at all.
