Broadband Coverage in North Northumberland

North Northumberland, part of England, has 49,882 premises. Full-fibre sits at 73.8%, broadly in line with national trends, and folding in gigabit-capable cable upgrades takes coverage to 73.8%. 95.9% of premises reach superfast (30 Mbit/s or more) and 73.8% reach ultrafast (300 Mbit/s or more).

On connectivity for all households, the USO gap in North Northumberland is effectively closed, less than 1% of premises fail to reach the 10 Mbit/s baseline. As gigabit networks become more common, Ofcom is likely to raise the ultrafast threshold in future Connected Nations reports.

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.
