NP8 broadband FAQs
Why is gigabit so scarce in NP8?
NP8 is very small and remote. It hasn't received gigabit infrastructure investment; most postcodes rely on older mid-speed networks.
Can I work from home on 30 to 300 Mbps?
Possible, but challenging. Video calls and uploads will be slow. If you're a heavy data user, NP8 is not ideal.
What about the 8.2% with sub-10 Mbps?
Those postcodes are severely underconnected. Contact Ofcom for government broadband assistance.
Should I consider moving to NP8?
Only if broadband speed is not critical to your household. For remote workers or heavy data users, the connectivity here will be frustrating.
