Broadband speeds in CR7
Share of CR7 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 593 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability at 94.8% reflects extensive cable network rollout across the district. Over nine in ten premises can reach 300 Mbps or faster speeds. The speed distribution is heavily weighted toward ultrafast: 94.8% access 300+ Mbps, 4.1% sit in the 30 to 300 Mbps band, and effectively zero fall below 10 Mbps. Superfast coverage (30+ Mbps) hits 98.9%, marginally above the UK average of 97%. Cable infrastructure dominates rather than full fibre to the premises. The practical outcome is highly consistent: any premise in CR7 will have either gigabit or superfast connectivity. This reliability makes the district attractive for households where multiple devices and residents compete for bandwidth during peak hours.
