Broadband speeds in CT1
Share of CT1 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 845 postcodes in the district.
Superfast coverage dominates at 98.4%, typical for an urban district. Gigabit-capable infrastructure reaches 70.6% of premises, primarily via cable. Fixed wireless is remarkably prevalent: 71.2% of CT1 premises can access this technology, indicating deployment across areas where cable and fibre prove uneconomical. Speed distribution reflects the dual infrastructure approach: 70.6% achieve 300+ Mbps via wired gigabit, 27.8% reach 30 to 300 Mbps (typically superfast-band), and 0.2% sit just below the universal service obligation threshold. The overlap between wired gigabit and fixed wireless footprints suggests both technologies compete and complement one another rather than one serving only residual areas. No premises are completely unsupported.
