How Kingsthorpe compares
Kingsthorpe is ranked 25 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 Kingsthorpe?
Kingsthorpe's broadband numbers read better than its ranking. 98.4% of premises can order gigabit speeds, no address falls below 10Mbps, and both cable and full fibre networks pass most houses. The 25 of 33 town rank says less about Kingsthorpe than about how strong the rest of Northampton is.
Ofcom's latest data shows 98.4% of Kingsthorpe's 3,202 premises with a gigabit-capable option, more than 10 points above the UK average. Superfast coverage is complete and nothing sits below the legal minimum. Around it, St David's posts 99.2%, Sunnyside 99.6% and Boughton 99.7%, so the local table is packed into a couple of percentage points. A rank of 25 of 33 in that company is not a weakness.
Households here mostly get a choice of two fixed networks, cable and full fibre, with part-fibre and 4G and 5G hubs behind them. Our sampled postcode returned 147 deals from 18 providers, and Sky advertised the quickest line at 5 Gbps. Where networks overlap like this, the leverage belongs to the customer.
Use it. Only 31% of fibre-ready premises across the wider district have moved to full fibre, which means plenty of Kingsthorpe households are paying for less than their street can deliver. A postcode check takes a minute and prices the alternative properly.

What speeds can homes in Kingsthorpe get?
The fastest service each of the neighbourhood's 3,202 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.
Where's the full fibre figure?
Ofcom doesn't publish full fibre (FTTP) coverage at neighbourhood level, so for Kingsthorpe 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.
