Where is IP19?

Broadband & internet speeds in IP19

Strong coverage

Broadband availability in the IP19 postcode district (East Suffolk) is Strong — superfast is near-universal and gigabit is rolling out. Across the 576 postcodes Ofcom measures in IP19, superfast broadband (30 Mbit/s or faster) reaches 88.6% of premises and gigabit-capable lines are available to 48%.

Around 1.2% of premises in IP19 fall below the Universal Service Obligation (a minimum of 10 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload), so the overwhelming majority of homes and businesses here can already order a decent fixed line. For a business that depends on its connection, the figures that matter most are gigabit and full-fibre availability — the symmetric, low-contention services we quote leased lines and FTTP against.
