Broadband speeds in NN9
Share of NN9 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 665 postcodes in the district.
Superfast reaches 96%; gigabit reaches 90%, a step below NN3 and NN8 but still excellent. 92.4% hit 300+ Mbps, 4.9% sit at 30-300 Mbps, and 1.3% fall below 10 Mbps. Download averages 306.5 Mbps, with upload at 68.6 Mbps. The download-to-upload ratio reflects networks optimised for content consumption rather than symmetric data transfer. At 306.5 Mbps download, streaming, downloads, and browsing work exceptionally well; the 68.6 Mbps upload supports video conferencing and basic file transfers without strain. The 92.4% in the 300+ Mbps category indicates that most postcodes exceed gigabit's practical throughput for typical household use. Only 4.9% fall into the 30-300 Mbps range, which remains sufficient for remote work and multi-user scenarios. The upload constraint matters mainly for content creators or professionals doing large-scale data uploads.
