Broadband availability in the TA5 postcode district (Somerset) is Mixed — superfast is available to many but not all premises. Across the 497 postcodes Ofcom measures in TA5, superfast broadband (30 Mbit/s or faster) reaches 66.6% of premises and gigabit-capable lines are available to 25.1%.
Around 1.2% of premises in TA5 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.
