Broadband speeds in G3
Share of G3 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 450 postcodes in the district.
Real-world speeds in G3 diverge significantly from fibre availability. Full fibre infrastructure serves 86.6% of postcodes, yet only 90.5% report ultrafast gigabit-capable access and just 88.3% achieve 300+ Mbps real-world speeds. The speed distribution splits noticeably: 8.9% of postcodes occupy the 30 to 300 Mbps band, a substantial proportion reflecting uneven rollout. This tail suggests that G3 includes older urban areas where fibre deployment is incomplete or where some premises still rely on legacy technologies. Superfast broadband at 30 Mbps and above reaches 97.2% of the district. The gap between fibre deployment (86.6%) and real-world speeds (88.3%) indicates that provisioning on existing infrastructure has expanded beyond pure full fibre networks.
