Broadband in Gosport

The numbers here are short and emphatic. Superfast reaches 99.6% of Gosport's 1,777 postcodes. Gigabit-capable connections, a measure that includes cable network coverage, are available to 96%. And the recorded share of postcodes stuck under 10 Mbps is zero. That last figure deserves a second look, because a small slow tail persists in most UK towns and Gosport's data shows none at all. With only two outward codes there is no meaningful geographic split to report; PO12 and PO13 both feed the same near-complete picture. Superfast sits a couple of points above the UK norm of around 97 per cent. Of the 4% of postcodes without a gigabit option, nearly all still have superfast available, so the realistic worst case in Gosport is a decent connection rather than a slow one.

Households comparing streets in Gosport can treat broadband as settled. The zero figure for sub-10 Mbps postcodes means there is no slow pocket to avoid, and at 96% gigabit availability the question for most movers is what a provider charges rather than what the line can do. Renters on short contracts benefit too, since almost any postcode they land in has fast options recorded.
