Broadband speeds in Somerset
Share of premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across every Somerset postcode.
Scale shapes the story. Fifty-four outward codes cover 19,859 postcodes, and averages over an area that size hide a lot. Full fibre availability of 60.1% is the strong suit, running ahead of the roughly 69% seen nationally. Gigabit-capable options appear at 64.9% of postcodes, and superfast at 88.5%, which is some way under the UK norm of about 97%.
The extremes are stark. BS25 has the county's best recorded fibre, with BS24 and BS26 just behind, all of them clear of the countywide figure. The DT codes tell the opposite story. DT8, DT9 and DT10 show no recorded fibre at all. And 4.3% of postcodes, more than 850 across the county, fall below 10 Mbps. Somerset rewards a close reading of the postcode-level numbers.

Somerset at a glance
Four postcodes in five have a fibre option, so much of the county supports heavy household use without compromise. But the below-10 Mbps tail is real, and landing in a DT-code postcode with no recorded fibre is a different proposition from a BS-code one near the top of the table. The 88.5% superfast figure also means roughly one postcode in nine lacks even a mid-tier connection.
