Broadband speeds in EX36
Share of EX36 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 409 postcodes in the district.
EX36 is more uneven than other North Devon outward codes. Gigabit (300+ Mbps) reaches 60.4% of postcodes, below stronger regional performers. Wireless technology at 59.2% is among the highest penetrations in the district, indicating that wireless links account for much of the gigabit share. The 11.6% of postcodes in the 30-300 Mbps tier receive speeds adequate for standard use. The concerning tail is 19.5% of postcodes, roughly 78 premises, sitting below 10 Mbps. This is the highest slow-postcode rate within the EX codes and suggests specific rural pockets with inadequate infrastructure. Households outside the gigabit band will experience 40-100 Mbps typically. The speed variation across EX36 is substantial enough to warrant specific postcode checking before moving. Geographic location determines connectivity far more than in neighbouring codes.
