Broadband speeds in NG20
Share of NG20 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 718 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability drops to 81.4%, with 82.5% ultrafast, across 718 postcodes in NG20. The distribution shows the rural shift clearly: 82.5% exceed 300 Mbps, 11.8% occupy 30-300 Mbps, and 1.9% fall below that threshold. One postcode (0.5%) misses USO entirely. Bassetlaw's position between Nottinghamshire's urban core and open countryside means fibre has reached most addresses, but gaps are starting to appear. The 718-postcode footprint is substantial enough to show real geographic variation. For households, gigabit is likely but no longer certain. The speed distribution suggests a postcode in active transition, with infrastructure investment still reaching most premises but leaving rural edges underserved.
