Broadband Coverage in Blackpool South
On the Ofcom register, Blackpool South (England) lists 62,816 premises. Its full-fibre availability of 60.0% is below the UK national average; add in gigabit-capable cable upgrades and that figure rises to 89.7%. Superfast broadband (30 Mbit/s or more) is available to 99.0% of premises, with 89.7% able to reach ultrafast (300 Mbit/s or more) speeds.
On connectivity for all households, Blackpool South has all but eliminated its USO gap, under 1% of premises are stuck below the 10 Mbit/s baseline. Don't be surprised if Ofcom's ultrafast bar climbs in later reports, gigabit is quickly becoming standard.
Where these figures come from
Figures are drawn from Ofcom's Connected Nations 2025 report (July 2025, r01), which aggregates postcode-sector data to constituency level. They represent coverage availability from at least one network operator, not the proportion of households that have subscribed to a given speed tier, nor the typical or guaranteed speeds that customers actually receive. Nearby constituencies in England with comparable full-fibre coverage are listed below.
