Broadband speeds in BT46
Share of BT46 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 312 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit speeds reach 89.9% of BT46 postcodes in Causeway Coast and Glens, showing a modest dip compared to other Causeway postcodes like BT44 (92.9%) or BT52 (96.9%). The 8.1% in the 30 to 300 Mbps tier is correspondingly higher, and 0.8% sit below 10 Mbps. The USO floor is met. BT46's smaller size (312 postcodes) suggests the data is reasonably tight; the infrastructure differences likely reflect real variation compared to neighbouring Causeway zones. Cable networks dominate gigabit delivery here. Infrastructure investment appears lighter than in central Causeway areas. Most households secure either gigabit or superfast speeds. The small slow-speed tail means broadband is generally accessible.

BT46 broadband FAQs
Why does BT46 have lower gigabit reach than other Causeway postcodes?
Infrastructure investment varies across coastal areas. BT46's 90% gigabit still ranks highly; the difference from nearby codes (92-97%) likely reflects older or more dispersed coverage in this zone.
Is superfast sufficient for most households in BT46?
Yes. 30-300 Mbps meets typical household demands. The postcode's 8.1% superfast-only rate is manageable for non-gigabit users.
How many postcodes in BT46 have real connectivity problems?
Fewer than 1 in 100. Even at the lower end, postcodes meet the legal USO floor of 2 Mbps.
Should I discount BT46 against BT44 or BT52?
Not necessarily. If superfast suits your needs, BT46 offers solid broadband and a 3% lower gigabit rate is a modest trade-off.
