Is gigabit available anywhere in CA10?
Yes, 43.2% of postcodes have gigabit cable or fibre, mainly in populated centres like Kendal.
Should I move to CA10 for remote work?
Only if your specific postcode is gigabit or verified superfast. Check before committing; rural postcodes risk sub-30Mbps speeds.
