Share of NE36 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 211 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit networks reach 84.6% of NE36's 211 postcodes, placing it in the middle of South Tyneside's tier. Superfast broadband (30+ Mbps) covers 95.7%, solid but below some peer codes. Speed distribution is balanced: 11.1% in the 30-300 Mbps middle, 3% below 10 Mbps (the highest below-10 figure in South Tyneside), and zero below USO. NE36 represents South Tyneside's lower end, where older infrastructure coexists with gigabit upgrades. The 3% below-10 Mbps tail is still negligible in absolute terms but notable relative to other South Tyneside codes. For property buyers or renters, postcode verification is advisable. Some locations have modern infrastructure; others retain older copper networks.
