Broadband in Tewkesbury

Tewkesbury's drop from superfast coverage to gigabit coverage is under ten points, from 91.2% of postcodes down to 81.8%, which means the bulk of connected postcodes have a gigabit-capable option rather than a merely adequate one. The catch sits at the other end of the table. Superfast coverage of 91.2% runs behind the national norm of roughly 97%, and 3.6% of the district's 2,942 postcodes still record speeds below 10 Mbps. So the district splits cleanly. Around four postcodes in five can order very fast packages. A thinner band in the middle has superfast without the gigabit ceiling. And a small tail remains on slow lines across the twelve outward codes. Households in the well-served majority get more headroom than the district's middling superfast figure suggests.

The practical consequence of Tewkesbury's profile is that outcomes cluster at the extremes. A mover is likely to land somewhere with a gigabit option, since 81.8% of postcodes have one, and unlikely but not safely so to land in the 3.6% below 10 Mbps. The middle ground is unusually thin here. That makes a quick address check unusually decisive too, because it tends to return either a very good answer or a genuinely limiting one, with little in between.
