Broadband speeds in CR3
Share of CR3 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 752 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability drops to 75.8%, with 20.2% of postcodes in the 30-300 Mbps bracket. A small 0.4% fall below 10 Mbps and 0.3% miss uso entirely. Wireless is absent. CR3 is Croydon's outlier among the borough's postcode districts, with lower gigabit uptake than central or premium zones. This likely reflects older residential stock, sprawling suburbs, or localised infrastructure gaps that cable has not yet fully bridged. The district remains well-served overall; the distinction is that gigabit is common rather than near-universal. One in four postcodes lacks gigabit, a material minority. Even postcodes without gigabit receive 30-300 Mbps, which is adequate for most modern uses. CR3 represents Croydon's suburban tier, less densely built than central zones and with different infrastructure investment history.
