Broadband speeds in CW4
Share of CW4 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 344 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit infrastructure covers 79.4% of CW4 (273 postcodes), provided by cable networks. Superfast reaches 96.1%, leaving 13 postcodes (3.8%) without 30 Mbps access. The speed profile is distinctive: 80% sit above 300 Mbps (275 postcodes), 16.2% occupy the 30 to 300 Mbps band (56 postcodes) - notably larger than typical - and 1.3% remain below 10 Mbps (4 postcodes). Below-USO gaps are minimal (0.1%, negligible). The 79.4% gigabit figure combined with the 16.2% mid-tier suggests cable deployment concentrated on primary routes with secondary infrastructure areas occupying the superfast-only tier. This pattern is typical for rural or semi-rural district configurations where investment prioritizes density over complete coverage.
