Broadband speeds in NR12
Share of NR12 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 906 postcodes in the district.
NR12's connectivity map is tiered. Superfast broadband reaches 88% of postcodes, but gigabit remains limited to 34.2%. The bulk of the district congregates in the 30 to 300 Mbps band at 53.7%, with 34.2% above 300 Mbps. Below-USO coverage sits at a manageable 1.7%, and just 2.7% drop below 10 Mbps. Postcodes with access to 300 plus Mbps speeds represent the better-served minority; most households inhabit the 30 to 300 bracket, adequate for routine streaming and working from home but falling short of high-performance uploads or multi-user streaming. The absence of full fibre suggests cable or wireless backhaul sustains ultrafast provision.
