How Good is Broadband in Merthyr Tydfil?
Broadband in Merthyr Tydfil runs almost entirely on Openreach's network. Full fibre is available to 88% of addresses, roughly nine in ten, and Virgin Media has almost no network here.
These figures cover the whole county borough, including Aberfan and Treharris as well as the town.
Openreach's full fibre reaches almost every street in the north of the town, across Gurnos, Galon Uchaf and Penydarren. To the east, Dowlais and Pant are covered just as widely.
West of the town centre, Gellideg and Heolgerrig have it on most streets. Cefn-coed-y-cymmer and Trefechan to the north-west have it too, as do Twynyrodyn and Penyrheol in the south.
