No specific local rollout announcements for Blackthorn or Rectory Farm have been reported by ISPreview or Openreach at the time of writing. Coverage here appears to have been delivered as part of Openreach's broader commercial build programme across North Northamptonshire, rather than a subsidised rural scheme. If you are in a street that still shows slower speeds, it is worth checking whether your specific address has been passed yet, as builds can complete in phases across a postcode area.
For households still on older copper-based phone or broadband services, the PSTN copper switch-off is set for January 2027. Openreach confirmed in June 2026 that around 1.9 million UK lines had yet to migrate to a digital alternative. If your home phone still runs over a traditional line, your provider is required to move you to a digital voice service before the deadline. Speak to your ISP now to avoid any disruption.
North Northamptonshire is primarily served by Openreach-based ISPs including BT, Sky, Vodafone, EE, and Plusnet. Gigaclear, which focuses on rural Northamptonshire and surrounding counties, may also serve parts of this area with its own full fibre network.
