Grain is giving residents of Bury a major broadband upgrade by expanding its full fibre network across the area, adding more homes to the rollout – with the first phase on track to go live in April.

Hyperoptic will extend availability of its services to an additional one million UK homes via the Openreach network. Preparations already underway, with a full launch expected Q1 2026.
The altnet has also shared that this month it passed 400,000 active subscribers, and well over 1.9 million homes.
CEO and co-founder, Dana Tobak CBE, said: “To support our growth ambition … we have taken a strategic decision to make our services available via the Openreach platform from next year.
“Our research highlights that most customers who leave us do so because they’re moving home. We understand home movers would prefer to take their Hyperoptic service with them so today’s announcement will make that possible.”
