Broadband speeds in BS28
Share of BS28 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 202 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability of 84.3 per cent anchors BS28's connectivity story across its 202 postcodes. Full fibre matches this at 84.3 per cent. Superfast is less universal, present in 91.6 per cent of postcodes, suggesting some premises rely on mid-speed alternatives where FTTP has not reached. The speed breakdown shows 84.3 per cent at gigabit rates and only 7.3 per cent in the 30 to 300 Mbps tier, indicating a sharp dividing line between well-served and underserved areas. This polarity is typical of rural districts where fibre investment concentrates on larger settlements and better-accessible locations. The gap between gigabit (84.3 per cent) and superfast (91.6 per cent) points to older-generation broadband in fringe areas.
