Broadband speeds in B45
Share of B45 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 692 postcodes in the district.
B45 combines fibre and alternative broadband infrastructure across its 692 postcodes. Superfast is available to 97.2%, but full fibre gigabit reaches 93.2%, indicating 4% of postcodes on improved copper or cable capped at superfast speeds. Alternative solutions serve 0.5% of postcodes, a sign of pockets where fixed line infrastructure is sparse or economically challenging to deploy. Speed data shows 93.2% at gigabit, 4% in the superfast band, and none below the universal service threshold. The alternative technology presence, though small, suggests a district with mixed infrastructure maturity and diverse geography. Around 65 postcodes lack gigabit fibre access. The infrastructure split means neighbouring postcodes may face substantially different speed ceilings.
