When browsing property listings, you may come across additional information about broadband availability and mobile signal strength. These predictions are designed to give you an idea of what to expect in terms of internet speed and mobile connectivity at a specific property.
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps), indicating how quickly data can be downloaded. Different readings are provided based on the highest predicted speed for any major broadband network. These readings include:
– Basic: Up to 30 Mbps
– Super-fast: Between 30 Mbps and 300 Mbps
– Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbps
It’s important to note that these predictions are updated periodically and should be considered as estimates rather than guarantees. Factors such as distance from the exchange, network congestion, and the quality of internal wiring can impact the actual broadband speed experienced at a property.
Mobile phone signal predictions, on the other hand, are provided by the four main UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three, and Vodafone. These predictions reflect the anticipated strength of mobile signal coverage at a given location.
While these predictions can be helpful, it’s always recommended to conduct thorough research and consider other factors that may impact your broadband and mobile experience at a specific property. Visiting the location, speaking to neighbors, and consulting independent broadband and mobile coverage maps can provide valuable insights.
