Faster, more reliable broadband is now available to many businesses across Keswick, with Full Fibre broadband offering download speeds of up to 1Gbps.
For businesses increasingly reliant on cloud software, VoIP phones, online payments, video meetings and connected devices, having the right internet connection has become an important part of day to day operations.
At KCS, we’re based here in Keswick and can help local businesses check what fibre services are available at their premises and find the right connection for the way they work.
Is Full Fibre broadband available in Keswick?
Yes. Full Fibre broadband is now available to many homes and businesses in Keswick, although availability depends on your individual address.
Openreach began further Full Fibre construction in Keswick during 2025 and later reported that the majority of properties in the area were able to upgrade. The network continues to be rolled out, so availability can differ between streets and even neighbouring premises.
If you’re unsure whether your business can upgrade, KCS can check availability for your premises and talk you through your options.
What is Full Fibre broadband?
Full Fibre is also known as FTTP, or Fibre to the Premises.
Unlike older Fibre to the Cabinet connections, where the final section between the street cabinet and your premises uses copper cabling, FTTP uses fibre optic cable all the way to the building.
This provides businesses with a faster and more reliable connection and removes the limitations associated with that final section of copper cable.
Depending on the service available at your address, Full Fibre business broadband can offer download speeds of up to 1Gbps.
What could faster fibre mean for your business?
For many businesses, broadband now supports far more than browsing the web and sending emails.
A Full Fibre connection can provide the capacity needed for:
- Cloud based applications and file storage
- Microsoft 365 and other online business systems
- VoIP and cloud telephone systems
- Video conferencing and remote meetings
- Online payment and booking systems
- Large file transfers and backups
- Multiple staff, computers and connected devices working simultaneously
Full Fibre also has fewer faults than traditional copper broadband infrastructure, making reliability another important consideration for businesses that depend on their connection throughout the working day.
Do I need 1Gbps broadband for my business?
Not necessarily.
The right broadband package depends on how many people use your connection, what systems your business relies on and how much data you regularly upload or download.
A small office using email and basic cloud applications may not need the fastest package available, while a business handling large files, cloud backups, VoIP, video calls and numerous connected devices may benefit from considerably more bandwidth.
Rather than simply choosing the highest advertised speed, we can help you identify a connection that suits the way your business actually operates.
Is Full Fibre different from the fibre broadband I already have?
It can be.
Many existing “fibre” broadband connections are actually FTTC, or Fibre to the Cabinet. Fibre runs as far as the local street cabinet, but copper cabling then carries the connection into your premises.
With Full Fibre or FTTP, fibre runs directly to the premises instead. This allows much higher speeds and removes the performance limitations created by the copper section of an FTTC connection.
So even if your current package is described as fibre broadband, it may still be worth checking whether Full Fibre is now available at your Keswick business.
Full Fibre and the move away from the copper network
The UK’s communications network is also moving away from traditional copper based telephone services towards digital technology.
Openreach currently plans for the PSTN, the traditional public telephone network, to be switched off in January 2027. Full Fibre does not depend on the old copper telephone network and works alongside digital services such as VoIP.
If your business still relies on traditional phone lines, broadband or other services connected to the old network, it is worth reviewing your setup ahead of the change.
