Business Broadband in Digbeth: How to Get FTTP (Even When Checkers Say No)

Digbeth's Business Broadband Nightmare

For years, businesses across Birmingham’s Digbeth have been held back by patchy, underpowered broadband. Large pockets still rely on legacy ADSL and copper lines, with real-world speeds often topping out at 10–30 Mbps not to mention this is currently being phased out by BT. For a modern workplace, that means jittery VoIP calls, unreliable CCTV and security feeds, sluggish payment systems, and cloud tools that never feel truly responsive.

We’re changing that. Power Fibre delivers full fibre (FTTP) for businesses in Birmingham, including almost all business addresses in Digbeth, even where checkers say “not available.” We manage everything end-to-end, survey, permissions, installation and a clean cutover, so your team stays online.

Why Full Fibre Business Broadband Matters in Digbeth

Switching to full fibre broadband brings huge benefits, including:

✅ Ultra-Fast Speeds – Download and upload speeds up to 5,000 Mbps.

✅ Reliable Connection – No more dropouts or slowdowns during peak hours.

✅ Better for Remote Work & VoIP – Seamless video conferencing and cloud services.

✅ Increased Property Appeal – Full fibre connectivity is a major asset for commercial properties.

✅ Future-Proof Technology – As digital demands grow, fibre ensures your business stays ahead.

Why Checkers Say "No" (When the real answer is likely "Yes")

In Digbeth specifically we work with an exclusive, business-only provider that doesn’t sell direct, they just focus on growing their coverage, the best part is.. they have already laid a full fibre business broadband spine throughout Digbeth. Our job is to make you aware of that availability and coordinate survey → route design → installation → cutover. That’s how “not available” becomes installed and live with Power Fibre. In general other reasons can include:

• Partner-only fibre networks: Some carriers don’t sell direct or appear on public comparison sites. They focus on building and installing, while approved partners like Power Fibre handle quoting, coordination and delivery.

• Stale databases: Public lookups often lag behind live build plans, recent upgrades or freed capacity.

• Commercial building complexity: Multi-tenant floors, conversions and older stock can confuse automated checks.

• Wayleaves not progressed: If landlord permissions and routes aren’t chased, systems default to “not available.”

• Capacity quirks: Local splitters fill and free up; a manual re-check often reveals new options.

Where we're getting Digbeth businesses connected

This is a widespread problem across Birmingham City that we're solving day by day, in Digbeth specifically we cover around 96% of businesses addresses including places like: Floodgate Street, Gibb Street, the Custard Factory/Zellig, Rea Street, Milk Street, Adderley Street, The Bond, Bordesley Street and surrounding roads. If your postcode has returned “no” before, it’s close to guaranteed we will be able to provide FTTP in the Digbeth area.

BT Copper vs FTTP vs Leased Line - What’s the Difference?

Here’s the simple take on each option. BT copper (ADSL/FTTC) runs over the old phone network, with limited speeds, small uploads, and performance that dips at busy times; it’s also being phased out. FTTP full fibre brings fibre right into your premises, giving fast, consistent, low-latency service at a sensible price for most SMEs, perfect for VoIP, video, payments and cloud. Leased lines provide dedicated, un-contended, symmetrical bandwidth with business SLAs and round-the-clock monitoring, the gold standard for mission-critical workloads. If you're unsure we’ll help you choose what fits your Digbeth site, budget, and needs.

*Symmetrical speeds mean you get the same download and upload speed

Why We Can't Be Found On Comparison Sites

You won’t see our fibre packages on the big comparison portals and that’s deliberate. We take a direct, consultative approach because public checkers often miss partner-only networks and live build data. The result? Businesses in places like Digbeth can be told “no fibre” when, in reality, there’s a clear path to FTTP.

By working with you directly, we can:

✅ Match the solution to your address - we look at the exact unit, risers, and routes to recommend the right package.

✅ Look beyond basic postcode checks - we access partner-only carriers and current capacity, so “not available” often becomes “available.”

✅ Guide the whole install - our team understands Digbeth’s quirks and manages survey, wayleave, installation, and a clean cutover.

Even if another provider has told you that full fibre broadband isn’t possible, we’ve already successfully installed connections in Digbeth and are ready and waiting to help you too.
