Broadband speeds in CR9
Share of CR9 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 36 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit reach of 86.1% represents solid cable penetration for this small district. Superfast (30+ Mbps) coverage sits at 94.4%, leaving fewer than five postcodes potentially constrained below 30 Mbps. The speed distribution skews strongly toward ultrafast: 86.1% of premises get 300+ Mbps, 8.3% sit in the middle band (30 to 300 Mbps), and only a trace falls below 10 Mbps. Cable infrastructure dominates the connectivity area. For a district of only 36 postcodes, this represents reliable and consistent service. The variance between premises is minimal; most can assume gigabit availability but should verify their specific address before making connectivity-dependent decisions.
