Broadband speeds in B36
Share of B36 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 569 postcodes in the district.
B36's connectivity shows widespread superfast reach with strong but slightly lagging gigabit deployment. 99.6% of postcodes get superfast or above, but gigabit via full fibre covers 97.5%. The 2.1-point shortfall points to postcodes on older solutions or infrastructure not yet upgraded to gigabit, representing around 12 properties in the district. Speed shares reinforce this alignment: 97.6% access 300 Mbps+, 2% sit in the 30-300 band, and none drop below superfast. The tight clustering suggests most non-gigabit postcodes have access to improved copper or cable delivering superfast speeds, rather than complete infrastructure gaps. Households relocating here can reasonably expect gigabit-ready infrastructure in most locations.
