Broadband speeds in BT74
Share of BT74 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 717 postcodes in the district.
BT74 reveals the rural connectivity market in sharp relief. Alternative infrastructure reaches 70.5 per cent of the 717 postcodes, the second-highest rate in the batch, signalling dispersed moorland or upland settlement. Yet gigabit availability stands at 78.6 per cent, likely concentrated in town centres with wired backhaul. Superfast passes 95.2 per cent. The speed profile is bimodal: 78.6 per cent at gigabit, 16.6 per cent at 30 to 300 Mbps (mostly alternative premises), and 2.8 per cent sub-10 Mbps. This reflects geographic sorting rather than infrastructure failure-wired premises cluster at gigabit speeds whilst dispersed addresses use alternative or satellite solutions. Below-USO misses are negligible (0.3 per cent).
