Broadband speeds in CW12
Share of CW12 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,018 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit infrastructure covers 89.2% of postcodes (908 premises), delivered via cable networks given 0% full fibre availability. Superfast reaches 95%, leaving 51 postcodes without 30 Mbps access in the district. The speed distribution skews high: 89.5% sit above 300 Mbps (911 postcodes), 5.5% occupy the 30 to 300 Mbps band (56 postcodes), and 2.5% fall below 10 Mbps (25 postcodes). Below-USO gaps are negligible (0.2%, 2 postcodes). The 89.2% gigabit figure demonstrates substantial cable reach across Cheshire East.

These postcodes likely sit in dispersed or lower-priority areas where network reach remains incomplete, requiring alternative solutions or infrastructure extension planning.
