Broadband speeds in CR6
Share of CR6 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 247 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability drops to 68.4%, with 22.8% of postcodes in the 30-300 Mbps range. Notably, 4.1% fall below 10 Mbps and 0.6% miss uso entirely, the highest deficiency rate in Croydon. Wireless is entirely absent. CR6 is Croydon's slowest postcode district, likely reflecting older building stock or a transition into Bromley's differing infrastructure situation. Just under seven in ten postcodes have gigabit; over one in four are limited to midspeed. The 4.1% below 10 Mbps represents genuine connectivity concern. This is the only Croydon zone where a material minority lack gigabit and where substandard speeds appear. CR6 is Croydon's outlier, distinct from CR0, CR2, CR4, and CR5 in its lower speeds and wider gaps. This likely signals suburban or aging building stock where wired infrastructure lags urban cores.
