Broadband speeds in GU23
Share of GU23 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 260 postcodes in the district.
Superfast coverage of 89.5% means 28 postcodes lack 30 Mbps access, a notable shortfall reflecting infrastructure gaps. The speed distribution is markedly bimodal across this Guildford zone. 59.1% hit ultrafast with 300+ Mbps capacity, but only 51.9% reach true gigabit at 1000+ Mbps. This gap reveals postcodes locked at ultrafast levels without full gigabit infrastructure. Critically, 30.4% occupy the 30-300 Mbps middle tier representing a meaningful segment with adequate but limited speeds. 2.6% tumble below 10 Mbps, roughly 7 postcodes suffering legacy systems. Below-USO postcodes account for 0.5%. GU23 is less well-served than neighbouring Guildford codes, with this 30.4% middle tier and 2.6% sub-10 Mbps tail making postcode-level verification essential before moving.
