Broadband speeds in BS27
Share of BS27 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 291 postcodes in the district.
Full fibre is available to 78.2 per cent of BS27's 291 postcodes, almost matching the figures for ultrafast and gigabit capability. Superfast coverage sits at 96.1 per cent, showing that efficient rollout of basic fibre infrastructure spans the entire district. This gap indicates VDSL and older-generation fibre technologies serving areas where full FTTP has not deployed. Speed distribution reflects this: 78.2 per cent achieve gigabit rates, 17.9 per cent sit between 30 and 300 Mbps via VDSL or legacy copper. No postcodes operate below the universal service obligation. The profile is typical of mixed-technology provision in rural Somerset locations, where urban nodes receive dense fibre investment first.

How many properties enjoy gigabit infrastructure in BS27?
78.2 per cent, concentrated in better-served areas where full fibre deployment has been prioritised.
