Broadband in Conwy

Start with the gap at the bottom. One postcode in twenty here, 5.2% of the total, sits below the 10Mbps line, so anyone moving within the LL codes should treat coverage as genuinely variable. Superfast availability of 90.4% also runs several points shy of the UK norm. The better news is at the top end. Gigabit-capable services are recorded against 76.7% of postcodes, meaning most addresses with a decent connection at all can go ultrafast. Sixteen outward codes make up the area, LL16, LL18, LL32 and LL34 among them, and 4,042 postcodes sit within them. What emerges is a split market, strong at the top and thin at the bottom, with less of the comfortable middle than the headline figures might suggest at first read.

The mix matters for anyone comparing addresses. A property inside the 76.7% with gigabit access has plenty of headroom for a busy household, while a neighbour in the slow tail may not manage a single HD stream. So the headline coverage number deserves a sceptical read. It says nothing about which side of the divide a specific house sits on.
