How Good is Broadband in Blackpool?
Blackpool offers strong broadband infrastructure across most of the town, with 97% gigabit coverage and full fibre reaching over 80% of premises. The combination of FTTP and Virgin Media's cable network means most households have access to ultrafast speeds, though provider choice and technology vary significantly by neighbourhood.
North Shore and Queenstown benefit from excellent coverage across all technologies, with full fibre, Virgin Media cable, and notably strong altnet presence giving residents multiple ultrafast options. Layton, Normoss and Grange Park in the east enjoy comprehensive FTTP availability and Virgin Media coverage, making them ideal locations for ultrafast connections.
South Shore and Little Marton have good coastal coverage with strong altnet competition, while Marton Moss and Hawes Side on the southern fringes show patchier full fibre availability despite reasonable altnet presence. Central Blackpool around Foxhall and Revoe has less consistent FTTP coverage, though Virgin Media fills many gaps.

Alternative broadband providers in Blackpool
Independent full-fibre providers have focused primarily on Blackpool's coastal areas, with North Shore, South Shore, Little Marton and Mereside seeing the strongest altnet competition.
However, at 35% coverage, Blackpool has notably fewer independent providers than many UK towns, meaning inland areas like central Blackpool, Layton and Queenstown have limited altnet choice.
Broadband coverage and technology in Blackpool
Here is a breakdown of the network coverage available across 78,878 premises in Blackpool, benchmarked directly against current UK national averages.
Blackpool's near-universal gigabit coverage is impressive, achieved through overlapping FTTP and Virgin Media networks that together serve the vast majority of homes. However, the below-average altnet presence means many streets have fewer competing providers than residents in other comparable towns, potentially limiting deal choice despite the strong underlying infrastructure. The upside is that virtually no properties remain stuck on outdated ADSL connections.
Your specific address determines which networks are available, so while most households can access ultrafast speeds, the number of providers and the competitiveness of pricing will vary considerably depending on your street.

How to choose the best broadband deal in Blackpool
The four things worth checking before you commit to a 24-month contract.
Best value broadband deal
Budget-conscious households should focus on standard broadband deals rather than paying for speeds they may not need. Plusnet currently offers fibre at £21.99 per month with 74Mbps, which handles everyday browsing, video calls and streaming comfortably for most homes.
Always check what's available at your specific postcode, as local competition can drive prices down further.
Best deal for speed
For maximum performance, full fibre providers now offer multi-gigabit speeds across much of Blackpool. Sky's 5000Mbps package at £80 per month represents the fastest available option, delivering speeds that eliminate any bandwidth concerns for even the most demanding households.
These ultrafast packages make most sense for tech-heavy homes with multiple users streaming, gaming and working simultaneously.
