Broadband Coverage in Melksham and Devizes
England's Melksham and Devizes constituency has 44,507 premises on record. 64.2% have a gigabit-capable connection once cable upgrades are counted alongside full-fibre, which alone covers 55.5% of premises, below the UK national average. Superfast (30 Mbit/s or more) reaches 96.3%, ultrafast (300 Mbit/s or more) reaches 64.2%.
On connectivity for all households, Melksham and Devizes has all but eliminated its USO gap, under 1% of premises are stuck below the 10 Mbit/s baseline. As gigabit networks become more common, Ofcom is likely to raise the ultrafast threshold in future Connected Nations reports.
Where these figures come from
Figures are drawn from Ofcom's Connected Nations 2025 report (July 2025, r01), which aggregates postcode-sector data to constituency level. They represent coverage availability from at least one network operator, not the proportion of households that have subscribed to a given speed tier, nor the typical or guaranteed speeds that customers actually receive.
