Broadband speeds in BT41
Share of BT41 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 985 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit infrastructure reaches 91.9% of postcodes across Antrim and Newtownabbey. Another 6.6% access speeds between 30 and 300 Mbps, a band that comfortably exceeds the UK average download speed of around 75 Mbps. Just 0.5% sit below 10 Mbps. Below-USO coverage is negligible at 0.1%. BT41's large size (985 postcodes) means local variation exists, though the overall pattern remains gigabit-dominant. The postcode stretches across several towns, which likely accounts for the small superfast-only contingent. Cable and fibre networks have achieved substantial coverage here. Most household broadband needs are met comfortably. The thin below-10Mbps tail suggests even more remote locations within BT41 connect to modern infrastructure.
