Broadband speeds in EX4
Share of EX4 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,445 postcodes in the district.
EX4 is East Devon's flagship for broadband availability. With 1,445 postcodes, it's the largest code in the county and among the best-connected. Gigabit (300+ Mbps) reaches 82.3% of premises, and superfast (30+ Mbps) near-universal at 91.9%. The slow tail is negligible: only 0.1%, fewer than two postcodes, sit below 10 Mbps. Wireless technology at 45% is significant but secondary to wired capacity in the overall gigabit share. The speed distribution is heavily weighted toward gigabit: 82.3% there, 9.7% in the 30-100 Mbps superfast band, 3.2% below 30 Mbps. This includes Exeter's urban and suburban core, explaining the high penetration. For residents in EX4, gigabit connectivity is genuinely common rather than exceptional.
