Broadband speeds in NR23
Share of NR23 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 228 postcodes in the district.
NR23 across 228 postcodes reflects partial, uneven connectivity rollout. Superfast broadband reaches 86%, yet gigabit availability holds at 31.4%. The speed tiers favour the middle: 54.7% occupy the 30 to 300 band, 31.4% exceed 300 Mbps, and 9.6% sit below 10 Mbps - the second-worst underperformance in this batch. Below-USO coverage at 4.5% signals persistent gaps. The outward lacks full fibre-to-premise and gigabit cable coverage remains limited. Most households inhabit the 30 to 300 Mbps zone where streaming and routine remote work function but uploads slow and simultaneous use strains the connection.
