Broadband speeds in NP4
Share of NP4 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,350 postcodes in the district.
NP4 spans 1,350 postcodes across rural Monmouthshire, showing measurably lower gigabit penetration at 60.4%. Superfast infrastructure reaches 95.1% of the district. The speed split reveals limited investment: 60.9% of postcodes achieve 300+ Mbps through gigabit networks, but 34.3% are confined to the 30-300 Mbps band on older infrastructure. A small but real problem emerges in remote areas: 1.8% of postcodes fall below 10 Mbps, and 0.2% miss the Universal Service Obligation entirely. Wireless networks cover only 0.3% of postcodes. No Ookla speed data is available. NP4 demonstrates rural Monmouthshire's broadband challenge: sparse gigabit deployment leaves a large proportion reliant on mid-tier speeds, with pockets of genuine underservice.

NP4 broadband FAQs
Why does NP4 have low gigabit coverage?
It's rural Monmouthshire terrain with lower population density and less infrastructure investment than urban postcodes. 60.4% gigabit coverage reflects that disparity.
What about the 34.3% at 30-300 Mbps?
They have mid-tier superfast speeds suitable for everyday work but not ideal for heavy uploads, video production, or latency-sensitive applications.
Is there a slow-speed problem in NP4?
1.8% of postcodes fall below 10 Mbps. A minority, but a real problem for those areas.
What broadband options exist in NP4?
Check providers serving your postcode. Wireless networks are minimal (0.3%), so wired services (fibre or cable) are primary.
