Broadband speeds in TN22
Share of TN22 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 971 postcodes in the district.
Cable gigabit infrastructure has reached 61.6% of TN22's 971 postcodes across Lewes, a substantial achievement for a rural postcode area. Superfast availability at 93.3% is close behind the national average of 97%, suggesting most premises benefit from modern fixed-line investment, even if ultrafast gigabit remains concentrated. The speed tier breakdown is revealing: 61.6% have access to 300 Mbps or higher through cable networks, 31.7% cluster in the 30 to 300 Mbps superfast band, and just 1.3% dip below superfast into basic broadband. The universal service gap is minimal at 0.4%, meaning almost all postcodes meet the 10 Mbps legal floor. Residents choosing between locations in TN22 will generally find gigabit or solid superfast available, with only a tiny fraction of postcodes at risk of sluggish service. The 6.7% gap between superfast and gigabit availability suggests infrastructure investment is active but spotty.

TN22 broadband FAQs
What's the difference between TN22's gigabit and superfast gaps?
61.6% of postcodes have gigabit cable, whilst 93.3% have at least superfast. The 31.7% difference represents premises served by older copper or fibre infrastructure.
Why does TN22 lag the UK's 97% superfast average?
At 93.3%, TN22's gap suggests a few postcodes remain on aging infrastructure. These pockets are scattered across Lewes rather than concentrated in one area.
How common is it to fall below superfast in TN22?
Only 1.3% of postcodes are below 30 Mbps, and 0.4% are below the 10 Mbps universal service floor. Both fractions are very small.
Should remote workers prioritise gigabit postcodes in TN22?
Gigabit is ideal if available in your postcode. The 31.7% on superfast can manage most remote work, though large uploads or simultaneous video streams may strain capacity.
