EX31 broadband and area guide

Gigabit capacity (300 Mbps or above) reaches 73% of the 964 postcodes in EX31. This high gigabit share comes from wireless technologies available at 68.6% of postcodes, capable of speeds comparable to wired alternatives. Superfast broadband (30+ Mbps) reaches 86.8%, though the remaining 13.8% occupies a 30-100 Mbps middle band. The tail is notable: 6.5% of postcodes (roughly 63 premises) fall below 10 Mbps, a sign that rural pockets remain underserved despite the overall coverage strength. For households outside the gigabit zone, typical download speeds will range from 30 to 100 Mbps depending on location and technology. The gigabit reach here is influenced by wireless rollout, which has filled gaps in rural infrastructure. This geographic mix explains both the headline strength and the persistent slow tail.

The speed profile here splits into three groups: gigabit-capable (73%), mid-tier superfast (14%), and a struggling tail. Most households outside the gigabit zone should expect speeds in the 30-100 Mbps range, suited to standard home working and streaming. That 6.5% shortfall matters for affected residents and may warrant checking availability before any move.
