Broadband speeds in TN21
Share of TN21 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 690 postcodes in the district.
TN21's infrastructure picture splits into two clear groups. Gigabit cable reaches 61.8% of postcodes across Rother, delivering genuine superfast-plus performance for home office work and large downloads. The remaining 33.7% of postcodes operate in the 30 to 300 Mbps range, a band wide enough for streaming video and video calls but not for sustained terabyte-scale transfers. Superfast availability sits at 95.5% overall, just below the UK average of 97%, meaning a small fraction of addresses depend on older copper networks. The tails are minimal: 0.6% below superfast and just 0.3% falling below the 10 Mbps universal service floor. For prospective residents, TN21 offers reasonable confidence that gigabit or superfast service will arrive at their postcode, with very few locations at risk of poor connectivity.
