Broadband speeds in NP18
Share of NP18 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 483 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit covers 83.2% of postcodes via fibre or cable networks. Fixed wireless networks add a further 11.1%, an important complement in areas where wired infrastructure is incomplete. Superfast reaches 93.2% of postcodes across the 483 postcode records. 83.5% achieve 300+ Mbps speeds, and 3.3% fall below 10 Mbps, a material tail that suggests some postcodes are significantly underserved. Below-USO postcodes number just 0.2%, indicating that most areas meet minimum government standards. Real world speeds are unavailable for verification. The district's infrastructure story is one of blended technology: wired networks serve the majority, fixed wireless networks bridge gaps where terrain or cost makes wired deployment impractical.

NP18 broadband FAQs
How important is fixed wireless in NP18?
11.1% of postcodes rely on fixed wireless to reach gigabit speeds. It's a meaningful technology here, not a minor fallback.
Is 83.2% gigabit coverage reliable?
Yes. Most postcodes have wired gigabit infrastructure. Fixed wireless adds resilience where wired coverage is sparse.
What about the 3.3% with sub-10 Mbps speeds?
Those postcodes are significantly underserved and fall outside the gigabit and fixed wireless reach. They may qualify for government broadband schemes.
Will my broadband depend on weather in NP18?
If you're in a fixed wireless zone (11.1% of postcodes), weather can slightly affect performance. Wired connections are more stable.
