How Boughton compares
Boughton is ranked 9 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.
How Good is Broadband in Boughton?
Boughton, on Northampton's northern edge, has none of the connectivity problems rural-fringe villages usually carry. 99.7% of premises can order gigabit broadband, superfast coverage is complete, and our sampled postcode listed 167 deals from 18 providers. Only a single address lacks a 10Mbps line.
Ofcom's latest data records 99.7% gigabit availability across Boughton's 3,150 premises, nearly 12 points above the UK average, with 100% superfast coverage and a capped middle band of 0.3%. The 1 premises below 10Mbps stays above the legal minimum through wireless coverage. For an area that shades into countryside, that is a remarkable scorecard.
The whole northern rim reads similarly, from Sunnyside at 99.6% to Moulton at 99.5%, with Kingsthorpe slightly back at 98.4%. The market gives villagers town-grade choice: 167 deals from 18 providers, with cable, full fibre, part-fibre and both hub types all present, and Sky advertising the town's fastest line at 5 Gbps.
The advice mirrors the rest of well-built Northampton. Run the postcode for your exact address, anchor on the speed your household uses, and pick the lowest whole-contract cost. With district take-up at just 31% of fibre-ready premises, the most common local mistake is not a bad deal but an old one.

What speeds can homes in Boughton get?
The fastest service each of the neighbourhood's 3,150 homes and businesses could order, from Ofcom's address-level availability data.
1 premises here can't get a usable connection (under 10Mbps).
Where's the full fibre figure?
Ofcom doesn't publish full fibre (FTTP) coverage at neighbourhood level, so for Boughton 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.

How we made this page
Coverage figures are built from Ofcom's address-level availability data, aggregated to this neighbourhood and weighted by the number of premises in each small area. Deal and provider information comes from Switchity's own checks at local postcodes. Availability always varies between individual addresses, so treat the figures as the neighbourhood picture, not a promise for your line.
