 Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 17, 2021

 Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

 Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s 
 Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s 
 Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

 The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: <a href="https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2">https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2</a>

 Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 21, 2021

 Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

 Clear: No bars, no signal predicted 
 Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely 
 Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity 
 Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services 
 Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
