AB10 broadband and area guide

Gigabit speeds are available to 94.2% of postcodes in AB10, driven by cable infrastructure rather than fibre deployment. The ultrafast threshold of 30 Mbps and above is reached by 97.3% of premises, whilst just over nine in ten can access 300 Mbps or faster speeds. Only 3% of postcodes fall into the 30 to 300 Mbps band, indicating a polarised market where gigabit capacity is common but mid-speed options are scarce. This distribution reflects mature cable deployment across the district. The absence of any postcodes below the 10 Mbps threshold means all properties meet minimum Universal Service Obligation requirements. For households comparing options, this two-tier split between gigabit and sub-superfast premises is unusual. Most users benefit from gigabit trunk infrastructure, but the small mid-speed minority faces limited intermediate choices between budget and premium tiers.

For households choosing their next address, gigabit availability across most postcodes means video conferencing, cloud work and large file transfers face few obstacles. The thin middle tier suggests ISP pricing may lean toward budget or premium packages, with few mid-market alternatives.
