BT45 broadband FAQs
How does BT45's gigabit coverage hold up across such a large postcode?
At 93%, coverage is strong despite the postcode's thousand-postcode span. But size means variation is likely; check your address individually.
What should I expect if I fall outside the gigabit group in BT45?
You'll likely have superfast (30-300 Mbps). Fewer than 1 in 100 postcodes drop below 10 Mbps, so slow speeds are rare.
Does BT45 split between urban and rural areas differently than its gigabit figure suggests?
Possibly. The postcode's spread across Mid Ulster means some town centres have gigabit while outer reaches settle for superfast. Size itself doesn't guarantee hidden pockets of poor service.
Should a remote worker prioritise BT45 for broadband reliability?
The 93% gigabit rate is strong enough that most remote workers will connect well. Run a check on your target address to be sure.
