Broadband speeds in Norwich
Share of premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across every Norwich postcode.
Norwich performs above the national picture on every headline measure in this dataset. Superfast availability of 98.5% edges past the UK average of roughly 97%. Gigabit-capable coverage reaches 84.8%, and the dataset does not attribute that access to particular technologies; cable network coverage can sit behind gigabit figures like these. The most striking number is the smallest one. Only 0.1% of Norwich falls below 10 Mbps. Across 3,237 postcodes and seven outward codes, slow connections have been all but eliminated. For a household reading these figures, the practical takeaway is straightforward. Nearly every address has a superfast option. Around five premises in six can go much faster than that. The remaining share, a little over 15% of the city, can still order fast packages but has no gigabit route on current coverage.
