Broadband speeds in BS16
Share of BS16 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 2,006 postcodes in the district.
BS16 splits neatly between fibre gigabit (85.9% via full fibre) and mid-speed (11.5% at 30 to 300 Mbps) tiers across its 2,006 postcodes. Superfast coverage is near-universal at 98.1%, indicating healthy baseline infrastructure across all locations. The speed_300_plus_share of 86.6% slightly exceeds gigabit_pct, suggesting a possible data collection variance or a small cohort of non-fibre gigabit-capable premises. Approximately 1,720 postcodes access gigabit fibre, whilst 231 sit on mid-speed tiers. No postcodes fall below superfast thresholds. Speed distribution is relatively clean for a district of this size.
