Broadband speeds in BR3
Share of BR3 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,094 postcodes in the district.
BR3 shows the lowest gigabit penetration of the BR postcodes at 83.7%, balanced by the highest mid-speed share at 13.2% (30 to 300 Mbps). Superfast coverage remains strong at 98.9%, with no postcodes dropping below that threshold. The shift toward mid-speed infrastructure may reflect older cable plant awaiting upgrade, or planned gigabit rollouts not yet activated. Speed variation is more pronounced here than in BR1 and BR2. Approximately 144 postcodes lack gigabit access entirely. These properties sit on infrastructure delivering 30 to 300 Mbps at best, suggesting network investment gaps in specific corridors or older cable routes. This pattern indicates mixed technology deployment across BR3, with some areas on modern gigabit capacity and others on legacy mid-speed alternatives still suitable for household use.
