Broadband speeds in TQ10
Share of TQ10 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 178 postcodes in the district.
Superfast coverage reaches 80.6% in TQ10, solid baseline infrastructure but lower than many regional peers. Gigabit serves 63.8% of premises, leaving 16.8% in the superfast-only band. Below-superfast premises total 8.7%, including 0.2% at USO minimum and 8.5% above 10 Mbps but below 30. This significant under-provisioned tail indicates genuine infrastructure gaps affecting roughly one in ten premises. Wireless availability at 68.1% is exceptional and dominant, the highest rate in this entire batch, suggesting this small rural area relies heavily on wireless infrastructure to bridge fixed line coverage gaps. The split clearly indicates terrain or settlement density challenged by traditional fibre deployment. Wireless has become the primary infrastructure strategy in many TQ10 locations.
