Broadband speeds in CM8

Share of CM8 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 890 postcodes in the district.

Universal superfast access is nearly complete: 97.6% of 890 postcodes support 30+ Mbps, and not a single postcode falls below the USO floor. Gigabit infrastructure covers 84.2% (750 postcodes), distributed across a solidly equipped area. The speed shape follows a two-tier pattern: 84.2% sit above 300 Mbps while 13.4% occupy the 30 to 300 Mbps band (119 postcodes). Below 10 Mbps affects just 0.6%, an exceptionally low figure: approximately 5 postcodes. The 84.2% gigabit figure is the critical measure here, indicating cable networks have saturated the district to near-full capacity. Secondary infrastructure in the 30-300 Mbps tier represents areas with adequate but not premium speed tiers.
