Billing & Riverside is the least-served of Northampton's 33 neighbourhoods for gigabit-capable broadband, based on the share of homes and businesses that can order a gigabit-capable (1,000Mbps+) service today.
Billing & Riverside has Northampton's lowest gigabit availability, at 77.5% of premises against a town average of 96.9%. 30 addresses cannot get a 10Mbps line at all. It is not a story about the whole area though, and the deals on sale locally still run to 5 Gbps.
The numbers put this area 33 of 33 in Northampton. 77.5% of its 3,099 premises can take a gigabit-capable service, 10.2% top out between 30 and 300Mbps, and 30 cannot reach 10Mbps. Counting fixed-wireless options, Ofcom records nothing below the legal minimum, so every address has some route to a working connection.
The land explains a lot of it. The area takes in the riverside along the Nene, with leisure sites, retail parks and open flood land that fixed networks are slow to cross. On the other side of the area the picture flips: Little Billing and Blackthorn & Lings both read 99.3%, and Overstone Lodge & Rectory Farm 99.9%. Availability here genuinely depends on which part of the area you live in.
So check your own postcode before assuming either the good or the bad headline applies to you. Most addresses have a normal market waiting: 116 deals from 18 providers at our last check, across every connection type from ADSL to full fibre, with Sky advertising up to 5 Gbps. If your address is one of the few below 10Mbps, a 4G or 5G hub is the realistic stopgap.

The fastest service each of the neighbourhood's 3,099 homes and businesses could order, from Ofcom's address-level availability data.
30 premises here can't get a usable connection (under 10Mbps).
Ofcom doesn't publish full fibre (FTTP) coverage at neighbourhood level, so for Billing & Riverside we show gigabit-capable coverage, which counts both full fibre and Virgin Media's cable network.
Across the Northampton North constituency, 94.6% of premises can get full fibre, but only 31% of those who can have actually switched to it (take-up measured across West Northamptonshire). If you're one of the rest, you may be paying old-network prices for old-network speeds.

Availability always varies between individual addresses, so treat the figures as the neighbourhood picture, not a promise for your line.
