Broadband speeds in CT12
Share of CT12 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 565 postcodes in the district.
Fixed wireless dominates CT12's infrastructure strategy: 85.8% of premises can access this technology, the highest in the entire sample. Gigabit availability is 72%, lower than other Thanet codes, indicating this outcode serves more rural geography than CT10 or CT11. This gap suggests substantial rural and semi-rural areas where wireless technology is the primary solution rather than cable or fibre. Superfast coverage is 94.1%, solid but leaving space: 2.5% of postcodes report below 10 Mbps premises, and 0.1% fall outside the universal service obligation entirely. Speed distribution is 72% ultrafast (300+), 22.1% superfast-midrange, and 2.5% below 10 Mbps. The district faces more acute service variance than neighbouring Thanet zones.
