Broadband speeds in NR1
Share of NR1 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 711 postcodes in the district.
NR1 connectivity is dominated by cable infrastructure across East Anglia. Cable networks deliver strong gigabit reach at 76%, whilst FTTP is not deployed in the district. Real-world speeds reflect this cable dominance: 80.4% of postcodes hit 300+ Mbps, demonstrating that cable infrastructure delivers modern high-speed performance. Superfast coverage reaches 97.8%, meaning nearly all addresses meet contemporary broadband standards. Only 0.1% of postcodes fall below 10 Mbps, and all meet the Universal Service Obligation. Cable delivers reliable performance for multitasking and heavy-use scenarios. The absence of FTTP reflects the historical sequence: cable networks reached NR1 before the national fibre rollout commenced. This cable-dominant infrastructure remains stable and well-performing for most household needs.
