Upton is ranked 24 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.
Upton, one of Northampton's newest districts, was built in the broadband era and mostly wired to match. 98.7% of premises can order gigabit speeds, with 161 deals from 17 providers at our sampled postcode. A small pocket of 11 addresses is still waiting on a 10Mbps line.
Ofcom's latest data records 98.7% gigabit availability across Upton's 3,570 premises, with 99.2% superfast coverage and a capped middle band of just 0.5%. The 11 premises below 10Mbps stay above the legal minimum through wireless coverage, an odd footnote for such a modern development, most likely at its commercial or newest edges.
The western district around it performs to the same standard, from New Duston West at 99.9% to Lodge Farm at 98.9%. Upton's market includes cable and full fibre overlapping at most addresses, part-fibre and both hub types behind them, with Virgin Media advertising the fastest local line at 2 Gbps at our last check.
New-build estates carry a specific broadband habit worth breaking: staying with whichever provider was pre-installed at handover. Several years on, that default is rarely the best price. Run the postcode, compare all 17 providers on whole-contract cost, and treat the pre-wired option as one bid among many.

The fastest service each of the neighbourhood's 3,570 homes and businesses could order, from Ofcom's address-level availability data.
11 premises here can't get a usable connection (under 10Mbps).
Ofcom doesn't publish full fibre (FTTP) coverage at neighbourhood level, so for Upton 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.

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.
