Coleby is a hamlet in the civil parish of West Halton in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately north from Scunthorpe, and south from the River Humber.

Internet is delivered by ADSL through underground, waxed-paper insulated copper wires that were laid by the GPO in 1955. FTTC is not yet available because the cabinet is too far away.
