Broadband speeds in BR1
Share of BR1 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,121 postcodes in the district.
Ultrafast and gigabit speeds are available to 86.4% of BR1 postcodes, driven by cable rather than fibre deployment. Superfast coverage reaches 97.8%, yet the split between gigabit (86.4%) and the mid-speed tier (11.2% at 30 to 300 Mbps) shows a distinct two-tier market. A small portion of roughly 3 postcodes remains below 30 Mbps, representing postcodes requiring further investment or upgrade schemes. The 0.3% below 10 Mbps signals the most disadvantaged locations. Speed distribution across BR1 is polarised: most households enjoy gigabit cable capacity, whilst others face a steep cliff to mid-range options. This pattern reflects network investment prioritising urban cores and cable-capable routes over final-mile copper premises.
