BL6 shows lower ultrafast penetration than other Bolton areas: 85.4% of postcodes qualify for 300+ Mbps, and gigabit reaches 85.3%. Superfast baseline is still solid at 94.5%. The below-USO rate ticks up to 0.1%, a minor presence. The speed split places 85.4% in the ultrafast and gigabit tiers, 9.1% in conventional superfast, and 2.1% below 10 Mbps.
