Broadband speeds in G4
Share of G4 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 304 postcodes in the district.
A meaningful gap separates infrastructure from performance in G4. Gigabit-capable infrastructure is available to 89.8% of postcodes, yet only 90.2% achieve 300+ Mbps real-world speeds, a narrower discrepancy than in some districts but still worth noting. 7.4% of postcodes occupy the 30 to 300 Mbps band, a substantial tail reflecting either interim technologies or fibre not yet activated for gigabit service. Superfast broadband reaches 97.5% of G4, suggesting that most unconnected premises lack fibre rather than lacking all high-speed options. The small 0.4% gap between fibre infrastructure and real-world gigabit speeds indicates that provisioning has begun expanding via non-fibre technologies, likely cable-based gigabit networks.

G4 broadband FAQs
Why is the real-world gigabit speed higher than gigabit infrastructure in G4?
Provisioning lags infrastructure. Fibre is deployed across 89.8% of postcodes but activated for gigabit service on 90.2%, likely due to recent activation on previously deployed fibre.
What speeds should residents in G4 expect?
Most likely 300+ Mbps (90.2%), but 7.4% of postcodes achieve 30-300 Mbps only. Superfast broadband (30 Mbps+) reaches 97.5%, so few addresses lack connectivity options.

About 30 out of 304. Full fibre reaches 89.8% of G4, with the remainder served by superfast cable or other technologies.
