The data displayed on broadband coverage availability uses source data from Ofcom. The predicted speeds provided in the API data are provided by the leading UK ISPs.
We understand that Ofcom did not receive data for every premise in the UK, and that Ofcom continue to work with industry to fill in the gaps. If no predictions are shown for your address, this does not necessarily mean broadband is not available and we suggest that you check availability on the ISP websites.
For further information about the Ofcom APIs, read their FAQs available here: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0012/130215/API-FAQs.pdf
