How Good is Broadband in Nottingham?
Nottingham's broadband coverage is excellent overall, with 96% gigabit availability, but the specific networks available to you vary significantly depending on which part of the city you live in. Western and northern suburbs generally enjoy the widest choice of providers, while eastern areas have good speeds but fewer network options.
Bulwell, Basford, and Aspley benefit from some of the best provider choice in the city, with full-fibre available from Openreach, CityFibre's network, and Virgin Media cable all competing for customers.
Sherwood and Mapperley have excellent Openreach full-fibre and Virgin Media coverage, but limited access to alternative networks like CityFibre. Carlton, Gedling, and Netherfield on the eastern fringe have patchier coverage across the board, with some gaps in both full-fibre and Virgin Media availability.
Lenton and Radford near the universities have comprehensive coverage from multiple networks including CityFibre. The Meadows and Sneinton have good Openreach full-fibre but miss out on some alternative provider options.
