Broadband speeds in CT5
Share of CT5 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 968 postcodes in the district.
CT5 is Canterbury's strongest connectivity zone. Superfast coverage at 98.1% is near-universal, leaving minimal premises below this tier. Gigabit reaches 77.3%, comfortably the highest in Canterbury. Fixed wireless at 65.9% is substantial but clearly secondary to wired cable or fibre infrastructure. Speeds concentrate heavily in the ultrafast tier: 77.3% ultrafast (300+), 20.7% superfast-midrange, 0.4% below 10 Mbps. The district's large size (968 postcodes) delivers consistent connectivity across the area with minimal variance. No premises fall outside the universal service obligation. Wired networks (cable and fibre) dominate the infrastructure; fixed wireless supplements coverage in harder-to-serve pockets.
