Grain Full Fibre broadband is growing across Birmingham

If there's fibre works happening near you, have spotted our Grain vans or reps in the area, or have heard about Grain from your neighbour, there's a good chance we're getting closer.

We're continuing to grow our Full Fibre network across Birmingham, bringing Grain broadband to more homes and communities across the city.

And yes, we're pretty excited about it.

We're bringing Full Fibre to more of Birmingham

Our Birmingham network already covers more than 900 postcodes, including Alum Rock, Aston, Bearwood, Birchfield, Lozells, Spa rkbrook and Witton - and we're continuing to expand.

That means more Birmingham households can get access to a Full Fibre connection built for the way we actually use the internet today.

Streaming? Obviously.

Gaming? Absolutely.

Working from home? Without question.

A house full of phones, TVs, consoles, laptops and smart gadgets all fighting for attention? That's a standard Tuesday.

Why Birmingham needs better broadband

Birmingham is a busy place. And increasingly, so are the homes in it.

The average household isn't just connecting one laptop anymore. There are phones, smart TVs, games consoles, tablets, work devices, streaming services, video calls and a growing collection of gadgets that can't function without an internet connection.

Full Fibre broadband gives households the speed and capacity to keep up with all that online activity.

What makes Grain Full Fibre different?

Grain owns and operates its own independent Full Fibre network, which we are continuing to build across Birmingham, rather than renting capacity from other major broadband networks. Our Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network takes fibre directly to your property, giving you a connection built for fast, reliable broadband.

And because it's Full Fibre, you get symmetrical upload and download speeds on our packages - useful if you're doing more than simply downloading things, whether that's working from home, gaming, uploading files or making video calls.

There's also no need to worry about your broadband bill creeping up during your contract. Grain doesn't apply in-contract price rises, so the price you sign up for stays the same for the duration of your contract.

Plus, standard installation, your router and expert set-up are included. No mysterious extra charges appearing just when you're feeling optimistic about switching.

Is Grain Full Fibre available at your Birmingham address?

That's the important bit.

Broadband availability is postcode specific, so being in Birmingham doesn't automatically mean your particular home can connect just yet.

Our network is already live in parts of the city, while we're continuing to expand into more areas. The quickest way to find out whether your home is ready is to enter your postcode into our availability checker.

Check your postcode to find out.

If we're not quite there yet, you can register your interest and we'll let you know when your address becomes connectable.

Already got Grain available? Here's what happens next:

If your address is ready for Grain, switching is designed to be straightforward.

1. Check your postcode to see the latest Grain broadband deals
2. Choose a package that suits how your household uses the internet, with options ranging from everyday browsing through to packages designed for busy, highly connected homes.
3. We handle the switch from another broadband provider. Simply opt into One Touch Switch at checkout, and we do the legwork for you.
4. Get connected. We'll book your free standard install and get you switched over before your previous service ends, so there's no downtime.

What if Grain isn't available at my address?

Don't give up on us just yet.

We're continuing to build and expand our network across Birmingham, helping more local households access the benefits of Full Fibre.

So, if your postcode isn't currently showing as available, you can register your interest and we'll let you know if and when we can connect your home.
