Broadband speeds in TR16
Share of TR16 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 661 postcodes in the district.
This district tells a different story. Superfast reaches 88.9%, but gigabit stalls at 33.7%, the weakest figure here outside single-postcode areas. The speed_30_300 band dominates at 55.2%, reflecting reliance on conventional superfast rather than ultrafast infrastructure. Below-10 Mbps affects 3.1%, and wireless technology contributes at 16.1%, suggesting partial infrastructure gaps. The technical picture suggests this area lacks either mature cable networks or substantial fibre investment compared to peers. For households expecting gigabit speeds, this district lags the region. Speed capabilities are adequate for streaming and standard use but fall short for speed-critical applications.
