Truespeed broadband: two regions are not a national network

Where the name applies

Truespeed Communications Limited is an alternative fibre builder, not Openreach and not Virgin Media. Bath and the country around it are part of the story. They are not a promise for the rest of the south-west, and former County Broadband ground is not automatically every eastern village.

Ask Truespeed about the premises. If they say no, the honest comparison is whichever Openreach retailer or other alt-net the address returned.

Read the tier

Upload, term, engineer access and any stated rise are the decision once the premises is a yes. We do not print prices.

This page lists no prices and no awards. Write down the post-introductory price, the minimum term and any rise stated in pounds and pence. Older contracts can use older wording. A social tariff, if you need one, must be confirmed with the provider. We do not assess benefits, and silence here is not proof a product does or does not exist.

Switching

Joining Truespeed from copper, part-fibre or cable is a new install. They should start the One Touch Switch where it applies. Do not cancel because a neighbouring village is live.

Where One Touch Switch applies, the new provider starts it. Do not cancel the old broadband first. OneTouchSwitch does not take the order and is not Ofcom, Openreach or this provider. An early-termination charge is still your current contract unless it is waived in writing.

Wrong page if

Wrong page if you are outside their build, or if you wanted a technical Openreach specialist rather than a regional network change.

A brand history involving another company is not coverage. The checker is coverage.

A company history is not a duct

Truespeed builds full fibre in selected south-west towns and, through later ground, some places associated with the former County Broadband build. Two regions do not make a national network. Bath and the country around it are part of the story. They are not a promise for the rest of the south-west, and a memory of County Broadband is not an order in an eastern village. The checker is coverage. Corporate history is not.

Where they say yes, read the tier, the upload, the term and any rise stated in pounds and pence. This guide lists no prices. Where they say no, compare Openreach retailers or another alt-net the address returned. Do not keep Truespeed on the list out of nostalgia. A brand that once served a place is not a brand that can serve it now.

Before you agree a date

Joining them from copper, part-fibre or cable is a new install. They should start One Touch Switch where it applies. Do not cancel because the next village is live. Villages are not one network. Keep the old line until the new service has stayed up. If you wanted a technical Openreach specialist rather than a regional network change, this may be the wrong guide even when they can install.

Memory of another brand is not coverage

Someone in an eastern village remembers County Broadband and types Truespeed because they have read that the ground moved. The checker says no. Openreach part-fibre still works. The expensive version of this afternoon is cancelling the working line, discovering the old brand’s successor cannot install, and paying an exit fee to return. Corporate history does not dig a duct. The same trap exists in the south-west when a town twenty minutes away is live and this lane is not.

If Truespeed can order the premises, treat it as a new network. Ask who must be home, what the upload is on the tier they will sell, and what rise a new contract states in pounds and pence. This page will not invent those figures. Keep the old service until the new one has stayed up. If you wanted a specialist Openreach conversation about addresses rather than a regional build, say so before you switch the physical network.

The network Truespeed actually sells

Truespeed is Truespeed Communications. Truespeed builds full fibre in selected south-west towns and, through later ground, some places associated with the former County Broadband build. Two regions are not a national network, and old ground is not automatic coverage. Check the town and then the premises. A memory of a former brand is not a checker result. OneTouchSwitch does not run that check and does not take the order.

Truespeed is not Openreach and not Virgin Media. A postcode, a county, or a neighbour’s install is not a premises. Write down the flat or the plot before you read a speed.

If Truespeed cannot order the door, the rest of this guide is a description, not a plan. Compare only the networks that can be installed. Leave the others off the list without drama.

The Truespeed product, without the poster

Once they say yes, read upload, term, engineer access and any stated rise. We print no price. Take the upload from their tier. A south-west landscape photograph is not a speed.

No television network is included. One Touch Switch moves the fixed broadband process. It does not move television, a mobile handset, or a care-alarm contract.

Ask Truespeed to name the technology and the tier in writing. An ‘up to’ speed on a different street is not the service. Wi-Fi inside the building is not the line.

How to read a Truespeed price

This page lists no Truespeed prices, rises, or social-tariff figures. Write the price after any introduction, how many months the opening price lasts, any upfront cost, and any in-contract rise stated in pounds and pence, with the month it happens. From 17 January 2025 that cash disclosure is what Ofcom requires on a new contract. Older contracts can still follow older wording.

Add the opening months, the rest of the minimum term, the upfront cost, and a stated rise only if it falls inside the term. Do not add a rise nobody has shown you. Do not subtract cashback you have not been paid. Do not treat a blank exit fee as zero.

Ask Truespeed about a social tariff. Corporate history is not eligibility. A commercial discount is not a social tariff. Eligibility is the provider’s check. Do not send benefit letters to OneTouchSwitch.

Switching to or from Truespeed

Joining from copper, part-fibre or cable is a new install. The next village being live is not your date. Where One Touch Switch applies, the new provider starts it. Do not cancel the old broadband first. Keep the old router until the new service has stayed up.

Do not cancel because a neighbouring village is lit. Put that figure beside the new contract before you call the change a saving. A fee larger than the difference means staying to the end date is usually cheaper. You can still leave for a fault or a move. Just do not call it a saving.

A move of house is not a One Touch Switch of the old line onto a new street. Truespeed at the old address is not evidence for the new one. Check the new premises again.

When Truespeed service fails

If the checker says no, the honest comparison is whoever the address returned. Write the promised date and the date service actually worked. Those two dates are what a later conversation needs.

Automatic compensation, where a scheme applies, is paid by the provider, not by this website. We do not quote amounts, because they change, and not every product is inside the scheme in the same way. Ask them. Wi-Fi in one room is often the hub, not a line fault. Test on a wire near the router before you book an engineer for the line.

Complain to Truespeed first if they sold the service. Ofcom is the regulator, not your first call. An independent scheme comes after their process, and only they can tell you which scheme they belong to. We cannot see the ticket and we cannot escalate it.

A Truespeed decision, worked through

Someone remembers County Broadband in an eastern village and assumes Truespeed can install today. The checker says no. The copper line is still the line they have.

Truespeed fits a premises on their current build. Skip Truespeed when you are outside it, or when you wanted a specialist Openreach retailer instead.

Before either path, write down a phone number you need to keep, any television you meant to keep or drop, and any alarm that uses the line. Tell the alarm’s monitoring company yourself. Truespeed will not do that job because a broadband order exists.

Truespeed and the rest of the household bill

Truespeed does not supply the region’s electricity. Gas and electricity follow energy rules and a different regulator. One Touch Switch does not move them. A single direct debit does not make them one contract.

If a discount depends on keeping Truespeed broadband beside another service, ask what happens to the discount when the broadband changes. Get the answer in writing. Price the line on its own first. Then decide about the other bill. Do not let a mixed advert pick the broadband term.

We do not publish energy unit rates, a model weekly bill, or a broadband tariff for this brand. The method is the thing that stays current. The numbers belong on the order, dated the day you sign.

What to confirm with Truespeed now

Reviewed 5 November 2026. The network facts above are structural. The price is not. Ask Truespeed four things on the same call: can you order this premises, what technology and upload, what is the price after any introduction and any stated cash rise, and what would I pay to leave my current contract.

If they cannot answer the first question, stop. If they can, write the other three down and only then compare. A published offer on OneTouchSwitch, where we show one, is still not this conversation. Their screen is the order.

OneTouchSwitch is not Truespeed, not Ofcom, not Openreach and not the network owner. We will not claim an award, an official rating, a guaranteed saving, or a day with no downtime. If a sentence on this page goes stale, the provider’s current terms win, and we should correct the sentence.

A notebook before you call Truespeed

Open a note before you speak to Truespeed. Write the premises first: the flat or the plot, not only the postcode. Then write who you are dealing with, Truespeed Communications, so a later bill is not confused with a sister brand or with the network owner. Truespeed builds full fibre in selected south-west towns and, through later ground, some places associated with the former County Broadband build. Two regions are not a national network, and old ground is not automatic coverage. OneTouchSwitch does not make that call and does not take the order.

Under network, copy only what they will order at that door. Check the town and then the premises. A memory of a former brand is not a checker result. Truespeed is not Openreach and not Virgin Media. If Truespeed cannot serve the premises, close the note. A speed from a poster is not a consolation row, and a neighbour’s install is not your order.

Under product, write the technology and the tier in their words. Once they say yes, read upload, term, engineer access and any stated rise. We print no price. Take the upload from their tier. A south-west landscape photograph is not a speed. No television network is included. Leave television, a handset and any care alarm on their own lines. One Touch Switch moves the fixed broadband process. It does not move those other contracts, and Truespeed will not reprogram an alarm because a broadband order exists.

Under money, leave the cells blank until Truespeed fills them on the day. You need the price after any introduction, how many months that opening price lasts, any upfront cost, and any in-contract rise stated in pounds and pence with the month it falls. Add the opening months, the rest of the minimum term, the upfront cost, and a stated rise only if it falls inside the term. Do not subtract cashback you have not been paid. Do not write zero for an exit fee you have not been shown. Ask Truespeed about a social tariff. Corporate history is not eligibility.

Under the switch, write who starts it. Joining from copper, part-fibre or cable is a new install. The next village being live is not your date. Do not cancel because a neighbouring village is lit. Keep the old router until the new service has stayed up. A house move is a new premises, not a transfer of the old Truespeed order onto a new street.

Under service, write the promised date and, later, the date it actually worked. If the checker says no, the honest comparison is whoever the address returned. Where Ofcom’s automatic compensation scheme applies, the provider pays the published amount. This website does not. Not every product is inside the scheme in the same way. Ask Truespeed whether this order is, and keep the reply.

Under the household, write the scene you are actually in. Someone remembers County Broadband in an eastern village and assumes Truespeed can install today. The checker says no. The copper line is still the line they have. Truespeed fits a premises on their current build. Skip Truespeed when you are outside it, or when you wanted a specialist Openreach retailer instead. Before either path, write down a phone number you need to keep and anyone who depends on the line. Tell them yourself.

Under other bills, keep energy off the broadband line. Truespeed does not supply the region’s electricity. Gas and electricity follow energy rules and, in Great Britain, a different regulator. One Touch Switch does not move them. A discount that needs both services is a second decision: ask what happens to it if the broadband changes. Reviewed 5 November 2026. The structure of this note stays. The figures Truespeed gives you are the only prices that belong in it.
