What broadband can I get in Shrewsbury?

Shrewsbury has seen big improvements to its broadband network in recent years.

Almost all addresses (99.88%) can now get superfast broadband – this is generally defined as download speeds of 30Mbps or more. That’s enough for several people to browse, stream and video call at once without buffering. On top of that, full fibre – capable of gigabit speeds (1,000Mbps) – is becoming increasingly common thanks to ongoing upgrades from national and local providers.

Coverage and speeds can vary depending on your exact location. Here’s a look at some key postcode areas:
