Broadband speeds in YO51
Share of YO51 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 258 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit speeds are within reach of 76.4% of postcodes in YO51. Ultrafast and gigabit shares are identical at 76.4%, while superfast covers 91.9% of the district. The speed mix is straightforward: 76.4% at 300+ Mbps, 15.5% in the 30 to 300 Mbps band, and 3.5% below 10 Mbps. Fixed wireless is present across 44.8% of postcodes, notably higher than the regional median, reflecting terrain where wired coverage gaps are frequent. The 0.6% below-USO is minimal, but the 3.5% sub-10 Mbps tail indicates a small number of genuinely constrained postcodes, typically those relying on isolated fixed wireless links or legacy copper infrastructure. This small district shows the typical pattern of North Yorkshire: strong gigabit reach in some areas, fixed wireless filling gaps elsewhere.

YO51 broadband FAQs
How does YO51 compare to nearby districts for gigabit?
76.4% gigabit availability is solid but trailing the top tier. Nearly one postcode in four will see 30 to 300 Mbps instead, which is adequate but not modern.
Is fixed wireless common in YO51?
Yes. It covers 44.8% of postcodes, notably above the typical rate. Wireless is a primary option here, not just a fallback, so stability and weather conditions matter.
Will I get reliable broadband in YO51?
Most postcodes will, though the 3.5% below-10 Mbps rate suggests checking your specific address first. If fixed wireless is your only option, confirm signal coverage before moving.
Is there full fibre infrastructure?
No. Gigabit comes from fixed wireless and occasional cable, not full fibre lines.
