BH9 broadband FAQs
Will I definitely get gigabit speeds at my postcode?
Gigabit-capable broadband is available to 99.2% of postcodes. Check your specific address on your provider's coverage map to confirm your street has a connection point nearby, but the statistical likelihood is extremely high.
Is full fibre the only option here?
Cable gigabit networks are also deployed across the region. Both fibre and cable can deliver the speeds you see in the statistics, so you may have multiple providers to choose from.
What about postcodes without gigabit speeds?
Fewer than 1% fall outside gigabit reach, but all have at least superfast connectivity at 30 Mbps or above. Even in this coverage-rich area, postcodes at the edge of the network boundary may only see 50-300 Mbps performance.
Do I need a different package for 4K streaming and remote work?
Most gigabit plans from major providers will handle both comfortably. Shared household use of video calls, downloads and streaming rarely requires the full gigabit capacity unless you have 6+ simultaneous high-bandwidth users.
