Broadband speeds in NG23
Share of NG23 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 764 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit is available to just 27.9% of NG23's 764 postcodes. This is the lowest gigabit penetration in this batch. The speed split is harsh: 27.9% achieve gigabit, 54.5% occupy the 30-300 Mbps band, and 8.2% fall below 10 Mbps entirely. Fixed wireless is present on 29.9% of postcodes, a clear sign that fibre has reached only a minority and alternative technologies are relied upon heavily. One postcode misses USO. This is rural Bassetlaw, substantially underserved by conventional broadband. The high fixed wireless penetration (29.9%) shows that providers have responded to the fibre gap with alternatives. For nearly three-quarters of postcodes, gigabit is unavailable and speeds depend on either aging copper infrastructure or wireless alternatives. This postcode represents the edge of infrastructure investment.
