Broadband Coverage in Scunthorpe

England's Scunthorpe constituency has 51,002 premises on record. The full-fibre figure is 95.5%, above-average; gigabit-capable coverage (DOCSIS 3.1 cable included) is higher at 96.4%. Superfast (30 Mbit/s or more) is at 99.2% and ultrafast (300 Mbit/s or more) at 96.4%.

On connectivity for all households, Scunthorpe has near-universal baseline connectivity, under 1% of premises sit below the 10 Mbit/s Universal Service Obligation threshold. Ofcom tends to raise its speed-tier bars as networks improve, so today's ultrafast line will likely move.

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.
