Broadband speeds in Birmingham
Share of premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across every Birmingham postcode.
Scale usually breeds unevenness, but Birmingham's numbers hold up across an unusually large area. Ofcom's data shows full fibre at 94.3% of postcodes, and because the gigabit figure is identical, fibre is doing essentially all of the gigabit work here. Superfast coverage stands at 97.3%, in line with the national norm of about 97 per cent.
Even the weaker outward codes are respectable. B4 and B3 sit at roughly three-quarters full fibre coverage, and B74 is only slightly ahead of them. At the other end, B92, B47 and B37 record full fibre at every postcode in the data. For a market of 50 outward codes, the gap between best and worst is narrow. Most residents can treat a fibre line as the default assumption rather than a question to research.

Birmingham at a glance
With fibre this widespread, the decision for most Birmingham households is provider and price rather than availability. Families running several streams at once and home workers on all-day video calls will find the speeds they need at the great majority of addresses. Even in the codes where fibre coverage dips to around three-quarters of postcodes, such as B4 and B3, most still have a fibre option. Renters and buyers can usually treat connectivity as settled and focus on other criteria.
