Broadband speeds in CA22
Share of CA22 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 266 postcodes in the district.
The district presents a mixed picture. Superfast coverage reaches 97.3% of postcodes, but gigabit penetration is limited to 15.6%. The speed distribution is accordingly skewed: 81.7% of premises access speeds in the 30-299 Mbps range, with gigabit confined to specific pockets. Notably, 0.7% of properties fall below the universal service obligation threshold. Real-world speeds reflect this division clearly: 1.5% of premises record sub-10 Mbps performance. This tail of slower connections is small but material for those postcodes. Most households in CA22 will have reliable superfast access. The disparity between the 97.3% superfast reach and 15.6% gigabit suggests network infrastructure has been upgraded selectively, perhaps newer developments or town centres benefit most.
