Broadband speeds in RH18
Share of RH18 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 140 postcodes in the district.
Despite its small postcode footprint of 140 units, RH18 shows solid ultrafast and gigabit penetration at 74.4%, outperforming some much larger outward codes in the region. Superfast reaches 96.6% of the area, creating a dense infrastructure base. The 22.3% of postcodes in the 30-300 Mbps tier are still respectable for most household use. Slow postcodes are marginal: only 0.6% fall below 10 Mbps, and just 0.2% miss the baseline entirely. For a rural Sussex outcode, this represents premium infrastructure investment. The speed consistency across such a small geographic cluster is encouraging.
