Broadband speeds in CO7
Share of CO7 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,298 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability sits at 71.6%, with one-quarter of postcodes (23.6%) occupying the 30-300 Mbps bracket, indicating more midspeed than gigabit postcodes combined. Superfast reaches 95.1%, and only 1.8% fall below 10 Mbps. Wireless covers 5.9%, reflecting occasional gaps but not systemic reliance. This district straddles the fast and moderate zones: sufficient speed is near-universal, but top-tier gigabit is reserved for roughly three-quarters, with the remainder at competent midspeed. CO7 is Babergh's broadband heartland in terms of size, but connectivity-wise it reveals a split between modern gigabit networks and older midspeed infrastructure. The balance between fast and moderate is close enough that speed considerations matter significantly for household decisions. Postcodes differ materially in what they offer.
