BT Broadband Postcode Checker: Openreach Availability

Not on its own. BT Broadband runs over the Openreach network, and Ofcom's independent data shows the superfast, ultrafast and gigabit broadband available in the postcode across every network: a guide to what's possible there, but it doesn't say which providers sell it. The exact package, speed and install date are confirmed on BT's own checker, linked from your result.

Openreach owns the copper and fibre lines that BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone and most other providers use. Because BT sells over Openreach, the Openreach technology at a property decides the BT speeds available. Ofcom's figures include Openreach but also count Virgin Media and other full-fibre networks, so treat them as the upper bound of what's possible.

Ofcom's Connected Nations data is the regulator's independent view of what's actually available in the area, before any provider tries to sell you a package. It's an unbiased baseline for what to expect from BT and other Openreach providers.
