Broadband speeds in BN88
Share of BN88 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 2 postcodes in the district.
BN88 is an outlier dataset-wise: only 2 postcodes tracked, making percentages less statistically meaningful than larger codes. 64.2% gigabit capability would indicate approximately one postcode on gigabit-capable networks. Real-world speeds sit at 64.2% for 300+ Mbps, with no postcodes below 10 Mbps. The coverage pattern is atypical for Brighton's urban core, possibly representing boundary postcodes serving mixed infrastructure or edge-case addresses. With such a small sample, aggregate figures mask individual variation. The 0% below-10 Mbps tail and solid superfast showing suggest baseline infrastructure reaches both postcodes. Comparisons to larger postcodes are unreliable given the sample size.
