Broadband speeds in DE22
Share of DE22 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,068 postcodes in the district.
Ultrafast coverage peaks at 96.7%, with gigabit at 96.1%. This near-total gigabit penetration is exceptional. Only 1.9% sit in the 30-300 Mbps band, whilst 0.7% fall below 10 Mbps. Superfast reaches 98.6%, making the bottom tier negligible. DE22 represents near-perfect infrastructure saturation where cable deployment has been extensive and successful. Amber Valley spans two outcodes, and DE22 outperforms DE21 despite both being strong performers. This suggests DE22 covers a denser urban zone with even more complete cable coverage. The postcode distribution reflects cable network success, with only marginal exceptions to the gigabit baseline. Most households here can assume gigabit access is available.
