Broadband speeds in CF43
Share of CF43 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 254 postcodes in the district.
97.2% reach superfast; only 7.2% reach gigabit. This inverted profile means most of the 254 postcodes deliver stable 30-300 Mbps speeds rather than the gigabit leap. Zero postcodes fall below 10 Mbps. The absence of wireless infrastructure suggests no accelerated access paths exist here. This is likely a rural or semi-urban area where superfast wired infrastructure was deployed but gigabit investment did not follow, a pattern seen across the UK where gigabit footprints are patchier than superfast. CF43 shows the intermediate outcome: solid, workable speeds widely available, but no ultra-high-speed tiers. The 90% clustering in the 30-300 Mbps range indicates relatively uniform infrastructure deployment to superfast standards.
