How Good is Broadband in Richmond upon Thames?

Virgin Media's cable reaches 87% of homes in Richmond upon Thames, more than Openreach's full fibre does. Independent networks come in pockets. Most streets have the first two.

Full fibre of all kinds covers 78% of the borough, below the UK average, while the cable lifts gigabit availability far higher. The borough sits on both banks of the Thames, from Kew in the east to Hampton in the west.

In Twickenham, St Margarets and Teddington, most streets have Openreach's full fibre alongside Virgin Media's older cable. Hampton Hill has the same pairing.

Ham and Petersham are where Community Fibre has built most densely, giving many streets a third network. The town centre by the river has fewer addresses with full fibre, and so does part of Mortlake.

Alternative broadband providers in Richmond upon Thames

Independent fibre reaches 23% of homes in the borough, below the UK average, and it comes in pockets rather than a borough-wide build. Nearly all of it is Community Fibre, with its largest pocket between the river and the park and smaller ones in Barnes, Whitton and Strawberry Hill.

Community Fibre appears in Richmond upon Thames results, as does Hyperoptic in a few blocks near the town centre. CityFibre has no network here.

Outside those pockets, you are choosing between Virgin Media and the providers that use Openreach.

Broadband coverage and technology in Richmond upon Thames

Here is a breakdown of the network coverage available across 92,061 premises in Richmond upon Thames, benchmarked directly against current UK national averages.

Gigabit availability sits at 94%, well above full fibre, and the difference is Virgin Media's older cable, which reaches gigabit speeds without being fibre all the way.

Openreach's own network serves 70% of premises. Most of the 18 providers here sell over it, so on most streets the comparison is their deals against Virgin Media's.

Fewer than one in 150 premises still relies on copper-only ADSL.
