What's Happening with Broadband in Hillside & Raskelf?
Hillside and Raskelf sit in the rural North Yorkshire countryside between Thirsk and Easingwold, and the area has seen genuine progress in full fibre rollout. Full fibre (FTTP) is now available here at speeds up to around 877 Mbps, putting it well ahead of many comparable rural villages. Nationally, around 82% of UK premises can access full fibre and 89% can access gigabit-capable broadband as of Spring 2026, so Hillside and Raskelf are performing above the rural average.
Openreach has been the primary provider driving FTTP availability in this part of North Yorkshire, with their rural and semi-rural build programmes covering smaller settlements under schemes part-funded through Project Gigabit, the government's programme to connect harder-to-reach communities. No specific rollout announcement for Hillside and Raskelf was publicly traceable at the time of writing, so the current availability figures are based on postcode-level network data rather than a named press release.
Alternative network providers (altnets) active in the wider North Yorkshire area include Zzoomm and Voneus, the latter of which focuses specifically on rural communities. Whether either serves these exact villages is postcode-dependent, so it is worth checking directly.
All UK landlines are being migrated from the old copper PSTN network to digital voice over broadband ahead of the January 2027 switch-off. If anyone in Hillside or Raskelf is still on a traditional phone line, now is the time to confirm their broadband and phone setup is ready for the change.
