Broadband speeds in B30
Share of B30 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 589 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit-capable infrastructure dominates B30's connectivity situation. 94.6% of postcodes can access speeds above 300 Mbps, with the remaining 1.6% capable of 30-300 Mbps. The tight alignment between ultrafast and full fibre (both 94.6%) suggests nearly all gigabit capacity comes from fibre networks rather than cable. Superfast broadband is near-universal at 96.2%, indicating no postcodes fall below the UK's standard service threshold. Speed distribution heavily skews towards gigabit: 94.6% at 300 Mbps+, 1.6% in the intermediate superfast band. This concentration reflects mature infrastructure rollout where older copper and cable networks have been mostly displaced by modern fibre deployment.
