Cliftonville & Rushmere is ranked 31 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.
Cliftonville and Rushmere sit second from bottom of Northampton's coverage table. 85.6% of premises can order top speeds, against 99% and better across most of the town, though nearly every address still clears 30Mbps. The hospital quarter has a ceiling problem, not a floor problem.
Ofcom's latest data ranks the area 31 of 33 in Northampton. The floor is genuinely solid: 99.5% superfast coverage, zero premises below 10Mbps or the legal minimum. The ceiling is where it falls back, with 13.9% of addresses capped between 30 and 300Mbps, holding gigabit availability to 85.6%, 11 points under the town average.
The area's institutional buildings, flats and larger plots around the hospital quarter are slower to wire than ordinary streets. The boundary effect is stark: Abington next door reaches 99.8% and St Michael's Road 99.3%, while the town centre shares this area's position at 84.9%. The market is unaffected on paper, with 147 deals from 18 providers and Sky advertising 5 Gbps where lines allow.
Because the capped addresses sit street by street among fully wired ones, the postcode check matters more here than almost anywhere in Northampton. If your address comes back capped, a 300Mbps-class deal still covers a heavy household, and re-checking each quarter will catch the build's progress.

The fastest service each of the neighbourhood's 5,293 homes and businesses could order, from Ofcom's address-level availability data.
No premises left behind: every home and business here can get at least 10Mbps, and none falls below the legal broadband minimum.
Ofcom doesn't publish full fibre (FTTP) coverage at neighbourhood level, so for Cliftonville & Rushmere 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.
