Broadband speeds in AB32
Share of AB32 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 361 postcodes in the district.
Ultrafast deployment is minimal here. 6.8 per cent qualify for gigabit or ultrafast, a stark contrast to city postcodes like AB25 and AB24. The bulk (76.5 per cent) occupy the 30-300 Mbps band, adequate for general household tasks but constraining for large file transfers or simultaneous video streams. A tail of 9.2 per cent sits below 10 Mbps (about thirty postcodes), indicating isolated or semi-rural pockets within the urban district. Superfast coverage reaches 83.3 per cent, leaving 16.7 per cent below the 24 Mbps threshold. Against USO standards, 97.8 per cent clear the floor, with 2.2 per cent requiring alternative support. This profile marks AB32 as a slow zone relative to nearby outward codes and likely reflects suburban or rural edges of the city zone.
