Cheetham Hill is ranked 55 of Manchester's 59 neighbourhoods for gigabit-capable broadband, based on the share of homes and businesses that can order a gigabit-capable (1,000Mbps+) service today.
Most of Cheetham Hill has good broadband options, but not all of it. Ofcom's data shows 351 premises here cannot get a 10Mbps connection, the highest number in Manchester, while 80% of addresses can order gigabit-capable speeds. Your own address is what matters, so check your postcode below.
Ofcom's latest coverage data shows 80% of Cheetham Hill's 4,214 homes and businesses can order a gigabit-capable service. That is below the Manchester average of 91.8%, and ranks the area 55 of 59 in the city. The bigger concern is at the other end of the scale. 351 premises cannot get even 10Mbps, which is more than in any other Manchester neighbourhood.
The slow addresses are mostly in the buildings along Cheetham Hill Road, where flats sit above shops and older commercial buildings have been converted into smaller units. Buildings like these are harder for networks to wire, because the owner's permission is needed before installation can start. Coverage improves towards Crumpsall, and neighbouring Crumpsall South reaches 93.4%. One further point from the data: counting fixed-wireless options, no premises here fall below the legal broadband minimum.
If your address is one of the slow ones, a 4G or 5G home hub is worth checking first. It uses the mobile network rather than your building's wiring, so it can be set up without an engineer. It is also worth re-checking your postcode every few months, because installation work in the area is ongoing. For everyone else, our last local check found 138 deals from 15 providers, all on fibre lines, with speeds up to 1.6 Gbps.

351 premises here can't get a usable connection (under 10Mbps).
Ofcom doesn't publish full fibre (FTTP) coverage at neighbourhood level, so for Cheetham Hill we show gigabit-capable coverage, which counts both full fibre and Virgin Media's cable network.
Across Manchester, 86.7% of premises can get full fibre, but only 45% of those who can have actually switched to it. If you're one of the rest, you may be paying old-network prices for old-network speeds.
