Broadband speeds in NR21
Share of NR21 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 794 postcodes in the district.
NR21 spans 794 postcodes with uneven connectivity. Superfast broadband reaches 87.6%, yet gigabit availability drops to 48.8% - just under half. The speed profile splits fairly evenly: 48.8% exceed 300 Mbps, 38.8% occupy the 30 to 300 band, and 4.8% fall below 10 Mbps. Below-USO coverage sits at 2%, manageable but higher than well-served peers. The outward reflects partial fibre or cable deployment, with good urban coverage but rural gaps persisting. The near-parity between fast and standard tiers indicates infrastructure remains mid-deployment phase. Most households enjoy adequate speed; some face genuine constraints for demanding applications or multi-user homes. The 4.8% below-10 Mbps tail suggests recent or planned upgrades may be approaching completion across this district.
