Broadband speeds in HR7
Share of HR7 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 278 postcodes in the district.
HR7 is a small Herefordshire postcode district with 278 postcodes showing moderate to strong connectivity. 87% achieve superfast speeds, and 77.4% access gigabit capacity driven by cable networks. Wireless networks are available to 28.5% of postcodes, providing meaningful alternatives where cable does not reach. The concern here is the below-USO tail: 1% of postcodes sit below the 30 Mbps threshold, affecting roughly 3 locations where isolation or ageing copper limits speed. The 9.6% occupying the 30-300 Mbps intermediate band reflects additional mid-speed provision. Speed availability in HR7 varies by location. Prospective residents should verify their postcode's cable proximity and options before committing.
