Broadband speeds in NR20
Share of NR20 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 849 postcodes in the district.
NR20 stands apart as the least well-connected outward in this batch. Gigabit reaches just 35.9% of 849 postcodes whilst superfast covers 87.3%. The speed distribution skews downward: 51.4% sit in the 30 to 300 band, 35.9% exceed 300 Mbps, and 5% remain below 10 Mbps. Below-USO coverage at 3% is triple that of top performers, indicating persistent infrastructure gaps. The postcode count - larger than most in this batch - compounds the absolute number of underserved properties. Unlike peers where cable has substituted for fibre, NR20 appears to lack modern gigabit infrastructure entirely. Households here face real speed constraints for multi-user homes or creative work; those in the slow tail cannot reliably work from home.
