Broadband speeds in TQ12
Share of TQ12 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,639 postcodes in the district.
Superfast reaches 90.2% across TQ12's large base, solid infrastructure supporting the majority. Gigabit serves 80.5%, a commanding majority capable of high-bandwidth tasks. The 9.7% in the superfast-only band reflects some premises without gigabit fibre; 3.5% fall below superfast entirely. Wireless at 31.6% suggests pockets of rural territory without fixed line coverage, likely targeting dispersed farmland or isolated villages scattered through the enormous TQ12 postcode area. This mix of strong urban/suburban gigabit core plus wireless backup for scattered rural premises typifies a sprawling district with uneven settlement density. Despite the 1,639-postcode footprint, gigabit reach remains strong at 80.5%, indicating investment across central populated areas within this large territory.
