Broadband in Stratford-on-Avon

Across the whole area full fibre stands at 31.1%, less than half the UK average of about 69%. That average conceals a lottery. B97 has fibre available at 97.6% of premises, B50 reaches nine in ten and B49 around four in five. Yet B47, CV23 and CV31 record none at all. Superfast coverage is steadier at 94.1%, a little below the national norm of 97%, and gigabit-capable connections reach 76% of premises. The weak end of the market is not trivial either, with 2.7% of premises unable to get 10 Mbps. In an area assembled from 24 outward codes, the town-wide averages are a poor guide to any single address. The spread between the best and worst codes here is as wide as the data allows, from total coverage to none.

House hunters should treat fibre as a postcode-by-postcode question in this area. An address in B97 sits in the best-covered code in the dataset, while one in B47, CV23 or CV31 currently has no full fibre option recorded at all. For most households the superfast layer, at 94.1%, provides a workable floor, but anyone who depends on fast upload speeds or very large transfers should weight the fibre map heavily when choosing where to live.
