Broadband speeds in CT6
Share of CT6 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,033 postcodes in the district.
Cable networks deliver gigabit speeds across most of CT6, reaching 88% of postcodes. Nearly all addresses can access 300+ Mbps speeds, pushing CT6 well above typical UK performance. Around 10% of postcodes occupy the 30 to 300 Mbps band, representing homes served by older broadband links or areas where cable reach is still limited. Just 0.2% of postcodes fall below Ofcom's Universal Service Obligation baseline, and the small tail of sub-10 Mbps addresses accounts for only 0.5% of the district. This performance profile reflects dense urban and suburban cabling across Canterbury's primary postcode. Radio links supplement cable in 29% of postcodes, suggesting dual-mode infrastructure for resilience or difficult-to-cable premises. For households, this means gigabit is normal; those without it still enjoy reliable superfast speeds.
