What the comparison shows
For each postcode we show the share of premises that can get superfast (30 Mbps or faster), ultrafast (300 Mbps or faster), gigabit-capable and full-fibre (FTTP) broadband. Where Ookla Speedtest data exists, we also show the average measured download speed. The figures come from the Ofcom Connected Nations dataset, the most reliable source for UK coverage.
