Broadband speeds in EC4Y
Share of EC4Y premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 111 postcodes in the district.
Full fibre reaches 90.8%, with measured speeds matching at 90.8% above 300 Mbps. This alignment indicates active gigabit provisioning across served premises. Zero postcodes fall into the 30-300 Mbps band or below 30 Mbps, confirming universal connectivity above superfast minimums. EC4Y's clean distribution is the hallmark of a postcode prioritised for operator investment. The 9% without gigabit are almost certainly on quality superfast services, not deprioritised infrastructure. The near-total gigabit coverage reflects concentrated demand from the financial services cluster. Premium infrastructure justifies premium rents, and broadband is no constraint here. The density of modern networks supports reliable operations across the district.
