Broadband speeds in TR17
Share of TR17 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 92 postcodes in the district.
86.2% of postcodes occupy the 30-300 Mbps band, an unusually high proportion. Gigabit reaches only 8.1%, the lowest figure in this entire batch. Superfast is reliable at 94.2%, and below-10 Mbps is absent entirely, confirming universal basic service. Wireless technology reaches 38.2%, indicating the area relies on wireless or older copper networks for bulk provision. This postcode appears technologically older than peers, with infrastructure dominated by standard superfast rather than gigabit options. The absence of below-10 Mbps postcodes is notable; however, the concentration of postcodes in the superfast band limits speed options for demanding users.
