Broadband speeds in BT24

The speed tier distribution here is balanced compared to neighbours. 92.2% of postcodes support gigabit speeds through cable. Superfast is available to 98.1%, covering those outside the gigabit footprint plus the gigabit tier itself. A small pocket struggles: 1% experience below-10 Mbps speeds, the highest proportion in the immediate vicinity, suggesting pockets of isolated coverage. The gap between gigabit (92.2%) and superfast (98.1%) is 5.9 percentage points, more pronounced than in some nearby postcodes, indicating diverse final-mile technologies for the middle tier. This variation hints at transitional areas where cable has not yet fully deployed. Postcodes within BT24 may offer cable gigabit, superfast alternatives, or rarely, poor service depending on exact location.
