Broadband in Brighton and Hove

With only 5 outward codes to describe, Brighton and Hove is unusually easy to summarise. Superfast coverage of 98% runs a point ahead of the national norm, and the below-10Mbps share is down at 0.6%, so a genuinely poor connection is now the rare exception. Gigabit-capable services cover 86% of the area, leaving a 14% remainder for whom the top tiers are not yet available. The typical mover can therefore assume a fast connection and shop on price, while roughly one in seven should verify gigabit options before choosing between providers. Each outward code here carries close to a thousand postcodes on average, 4,812 in total, so even small percentage gaps translate into a fair number of individual addresses. That is the argument for looking up the exact postcode rather than trusting the area-wide figure.

House prices are not part of this page's data, so the speed mix carries the context. A 98% superfast figure with a 0.6% slow tail makes Brighton and Hove dependable territory for home working. The open question for any given address is the gigabit one, since 14% of the area is still outside that footprint, and the area figures alone cannot say which postcodes those are.
