Cotton End, Brackmills & Hardingstone is ranked 30 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.
This area mixes Hardingstone's village streets with the Brackmills warehouse estate, and the broadband stats blend accordingly. 94% of premises can order gigabit speeds, solid by national standards but bottom-quarter for Northampton, and our sampled postcode returned the town's thinnest deal list.
Ofcom's latest data shows 94% of the area's 5,254 premises with a gigabit option, 6 points above the UK average yet 30 of 33 in Northampton's compressed table. Superfast coverage is 99.7%. 12 premises sit below 10Mbps, and uniquely in the town, 1 address remains below the legal minimum even counting wireless options.
Brackmills is one of the region's biggest logistics estates, and commercial units drag consumer-style metrics in odd directions. Our sampled postcode listed just 42 deals from 11 providers on part-fibre and ADSL, with Onestream's 80 Mbps line the fastest advertised, the leanest snapshot we took in Northampton. The residential pockets fare differently: Delapre and East Hunsbury next door both read 99.9%, and Hardingstone's homes mostly share the strong wiring.
The spread means individual checks matter more than the area average. Households should run their exact postcode, expect more options than our snapshot showed, and re-check in a few weeks if the first list looks thin. Businesses on the estate should be pricing dedicated connectivity instead of consumer deals.

The fastest service each of the neighbourhood's 5,254 homes and businesses could order, from Ofcom's address-level availability data.
12 premises here can't get a usable connection (under 10Mbps), and 1 fall below the legal broadband minimum even counting fixed-wireless options.
Ofcom doesn't publish full fibre (FTTP) coverage at neighbourhood level, so for Cotton End, Brackmills & Hardingstone 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.
