Broadband speeds in EX6
Share of EX6 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 716 postcodes in the district.
EX6 is Mid Devon's weakest performer in this batch. Gigabit reaches just 36.9% of the 716 postcodes, well below typical national levels. Superfast (30+ Mbps) covers 62.1%, leaving 37.9% below that tier. Wireless technology at 29.3% provides a moderate contribution. The distribution splits into three tiers: 36.9% gigabit, 25.2% superfast (30-100 Mbps), 16.1% below 30 Mbps, 4% below 10 Mbps. For households outside gigabit, expect 40-80 Mbps typical speeds. The 16.1% below 30 Mbps represents roughly 115 postcodes facing connectivity constraints. This makes EX6 a mixed zone; some premises have dependable gigabit, others face bandwidth limitations. Rural geography and sparse population have constrained infrastructure investment. Postcode verification is essential here.
