Broadband speeds in DE5
Share of DE5 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 486 postcodes in the district.
Superfast reaches 95.9%, and gigabit availability hits 89.7%, placing DE5 firmly in the upper tier. Speed composition is tightly distributed: 89.7% enjoy 300 Mbps or faster, 6.2% sit at 30-300 Mbps, and just 0.5% fall below 10 Mbps. Below-USO postcodes are negligible (0.3%). This profile suggests either urban-concentrated delivery or modern infrastructure throughout the outward. The lack of slow postcodes is striking compared to nearby codes. The concentration at gigabit, almost nine in ten postcodes, makes random postcode selection in DE5 reliably fast. Infrastructure maturity here is higher than other Amber Valley outwards, indicating either terrain that favours deployment or prioritised rollout in this pocket of Amber Valley.
