Broadband speeds in SN16
Share of SN16 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 513 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability is 63%, the lowest in this batch. Superfast is 93.9%, meeting the UK baseline. Wireless broadband reaches 12.2%, as providers attempt to serve postcodes uneconomical for cable networks. Speed distribution shows 63% at 300+ Mbps, 30.8% in the 30 to 300 Mbps band, and 2.2% below 10 Mbps. Roughly 11 postcodes fall into the below-USO category, indicating genuine service gaps. The 30.8% mid-tier is large, representing substantial portions with adequate but not premium speeds. Wireless-delivered services typically offer lower speeds and less consistency than cable, so postcodes relying on wireless are not equivalent to cable-served ones. SN16 is rural Cotswold terrain with limited connectivity options. Check postcodes carefully before committing.
