Broadband speeds in NR2
Share of NR2 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 703 postcodes in the district.
NR2 sits at the pinnacle of Norfolk's broadband picture. Superfast coverage reaches 98% across 703 postcodes, and gigabit-capable infrastructure touches 80.6% - highest in this batch. The speed profile is extraordinary: 83.9% exceed 300 Mbps, 14.1% occupy the 30 to 300 band, and 0% fall below 10 Mbps. Below-USO coverage is effectively zero at 0.1%. The absence of full fibre-to-premise contrasts starkly with the exceptional gigabit reach, indicating cable networks have invested heavily in Norwich's urban core. This outward represents the standard against which slower Norfolk codes measure themselves: universal modern broadband, virtually zero underperformance, and near-universal gigabit access.
