Broadband speeds in NG13
Share of NG13 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 684 postcodes in the district.
Only 52.2% of NG13's 684 postcodes reach gigabit status. The speed profile shows the real rural challenge: 38.6% are stuck in the 30-300 Mbps band and 2.5% fall below 10 Mbps entirely. This is rural Nottinghamshire where fibre investment is selective rather than universal. Where fibre has arrived (53.9% ultrafast), it delivers solid speeds. Where it hasn't, households depend on legacy copper or alternative provision. Fixed wireless appears on 5.4% of postcodes. The 0.9% missing USO are the hardest cases. These numbers reveal a postcode in true transition, where infrastructure investment has been partial rather than complete. Nearly half the postcodes lack gigabit access.
