Broadband speeds in G40
Share of G40 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 412 postcodes in the district.
G40's speed story divides sharply. While 99.2% achieve superfast broadband at 30 Mbps and above, only 76% have gigabit-capable infrastructure, and just 81.3% report 300+ Mbps real-world speeds. The consequence: 17.8% of G40's 412 postcodes operate in the 30 to 300 Mbps band, more than triple the proportion in well-connected Glasgow districts. This distribution reflects incomplete fibre rollout, with significant areas still relying on legacy technologies. Full fibre reaches 76%, suggesting that rollout is ongoing and likely to expand over coming months. Residents in the 17.8% tail face genuine bandwidth constraints when multiple household members stream or video-call simultaneously.
