EC1V broadband FAQs

Is full fibre really available in all of EC1V?

No. 96.1% of the 459 postcodes are passed by gigabit or full fibre networks. The remaining 3.9% are still on superfast connections (above 30 Mbps), which meets minimum broadband standards.

What speeds can I actually expect moving to EC1V?

96% of premises record sustained 300+ Mbps download speeds. Speeds this high are more than sufficient for 4K video, cloud collaboration, and several simultaneous video calls without degradation.

Why do 96% get 300+ Mbps when full fibre is also 96%?

Full fibre can be delivered at various speeds; ISPs in EC1V have deployed gigabit packages widely, which is why actual measured speeds match or exceed the fibre-passed rate.

Are there any postcodes in EC1V without gigabit coverage?

Yes, about 16 postcodes fall outside gigabit reach but retain superfast coverage. Check your specific address with your provider before signing a lease or contract.
