Broadband speeds in IP23
Share of IP23 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 324 postcodes in the district.
Only 32.9% of IP23 postcodes support gigabit, placing it among the lower-tier options in this Ofcom batch. However, 59.1% occupy the 30-300 Mbps band, which is respectable coverage for ordinary households and small businesses. Superfast service is available to 92% of postcodes, just below the typical UK superfast reach. The below-10-Mbps rate is low at 2.4%, and nearly all postcodes meet or exceed Universal Service Obligation thresholds. IP23 is a stable investment zone, neither lagging dangerously behind nor racing ahead of rural infrastructure norms. The postcode's character is clearly mid-market: no emergent gigabit infrastructure, but competent basic service across nearly all addresses. Households contemplating migration here or fibre investment should recognise that gigabit may require waiting, while superfast options are already mature and reliable.
