Broadband speeds in TN5
Share of TN5 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 409 postcodes in the district.
Superfast coverage reaches 90%, indicating good baseline infrastructure across TN5. Gigabit serves 68.4% of premises, a respectable proportion enabling high-speed connectivity for the majority. The 21.6% in the 30-300 Mbps superfast-only band reflects dispersed settlement patterns typical of rural Sussex where infrastructure investment concentrates on core areas. Below-superfast premises total 3.5%, split between 0.3% at USO minimum and 1.9% above 10 Mbps but below 30, suggesting some isolated farmland or villages lacking cost-effective fibre reach. The overall split shows approximately two-thirds gigabit-capable and one-third superfast-only, pointing to a mix of better and less well-served neighbourhoods across the 409-postcode territory. This variation is typical for districts covering mixed urban and rural settlement patterns.
