Broadband speeds in CF45
Share of CF45 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 434 postcodes in the district.
65.4% reach gigabit, 98.2% are superfast-capable, and 23.4% depend on wireless infrastructure. The 32.8% of postcodes in the 30-300 Mbps bracket is the largest middle tier in this dataset, suggesting substantial areas bridging superfast and gigabit rather than clustering at the top. Only 0.1% fall below 10 Mbps. This postcode shows a ladder effect: high superfast floor, moderate gigabit ceiling, and a broad middle rung. CF45's structure differs markedly from postcodes like CF40 (wired-gigabit-heavy) or CF43 (superfast-only). The 32.8% middle tier indicates deliberate network design choices where gigabit was not deployed everywhere but superfast was prioritised universally.
