Manchester City Centre North & Collyhurst is ranked 48 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.
This is the biggest neighbourhood in our Manchester coverage, 9,596 premises stretching from the northern city centre into Collyhurst, and one of the patchier ones. 85.3% of addresses can order gigabit speeds, while 73 cannot get 10Mbps at all. Your building decides which group you are in.
Ofcom's latest data ranks the area 48 of 59 in Manchester. 96.6% of premises clear superfast speeds, 85.3% can take a gigabit-capable line, and 11.3% are capped between 30 and 300Mbps. The 73 premises below 10Mbps are the sharp end, although wireless options keep every address above the legal minimum.
An area this size contains several different broadband stories at once. New apartment towers tend to come pre-wired by a single building network, Collyhurst's older streets wait on the general fibre build, and the in-between stock goes either way. Our sampled postcode returned 62 deals from 13 providers on fibre lines and hub products, with Hyperoptic's 900 Mbps line the fastest advertised. The neighbouring patches all tell similar stories, from Piccadilly & Ancoats at 84.3% to New Islington South & Bradford at 89.2%.
Treat the area average as background noise and check your building specifically. Flat-dwellers should ask what is already installed before signing anything. If your address is one of the 73, a 4G or 5G hub works today, and the postcode is worth re-running every few months as the regeneration build moves north.
