Fixed Broadband Score
Home internet speeds around this property
The Fixed Broadband Score rates the fixed-line internet in this property's neighbourhood from 0 to 100. It is built from the connection types providers report there and the speeds those connections deliver. Higher scores mean faster, more reliable connections. The score covers the whole UK, using coverage data providers report to Ofcom.
What This Means
A high score means full fibre or a similar fast connection has reached this neighbourhood. Video calls, large downloads and several devices at once should all hold up. A low score usually means the neighbourhood is still served by older copper-based lines. Those slow down the further a house sits from the street cabinet. The score describes what providers can supply nearby, not what the seller currently buys. A strong score therefore does not mean a fast line is already live when you move in.
Score Ranges
Poor
0 to 30Browsing and email only. Video calls and streaming are likely to stutter.
Fair
31 to 60Standard streaming and video calls work. Enough for one person working from home.
Good
61 to 80HD streaming, video calls and several devices at once all work reliably.
Excellent
81 to 1004K streaming and heavy use across many devices, typically on a full-fibre line.
Practical Advice
- Run this exact address through Ofcom's broadband availability checker to see the predicted speeds and services available there.
- Ask the seller which provider they use, and whether a fibre line is already installed.
- Ask your chosen provider for an installation lead time before you move, as a new full-fibre connection can take weeks to activate.
- Ask a full-fibre provider whether this street is in its build plan if the checker shows copper connections only.
Additional Information
The score is calculated for the surrounding neighbourhood, not for this address alone. That neighbourhood typically covers between one and three thousand people. Coverage can differ sharply between two homes within it, where full fibre has reached one street and not the next.
