Broadband speeds in CR2
Share of CR2 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 973 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability reaches 86%, with 12.1% of postcodes in the 30-300 Mbps band. Zero postcodes fall below 10 Mbps and none miss uso targets. Wireless is absent, confirming full wired coverage across the district. CR2 sits alongside CR0 and CR4 as Croydon's fully wired cores, with consistently high gigabit penetration. Infrastructure maturity is evident: urban density and network investment have eliminated coverage gaps and wireless backups. The district is wholly served by fibre or cable. Every postcode has at least superfast capacity; most have gigabit. This uniformity is the hallmark of London's mature networks. Network planning decisions made years ago have paid off in complete coverage. Postcodes differ only in gigabit versus midspeed, not in basic service availability. CR2 reflects Croydon's urban character.
