Broadband speeds in GU27
Share of GU27 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 595 postcodes in the district.
Superfast coverage at 92.9% is solid but leaves 41 postcodes without 30 Mbps baseline across Chichester. Gigabit and high-speed both hit 55.7%, below national averages and trailing most South Coast postcodes. This figure indicates fragmented cable deployment or limited fibre infrastructure within the zone. Approximately 331 postcodes achieve 300+ Mbps or faster speeds through available cable plant. The middle tier dominates markedly: 37.2% of postcodes sit between 30 and 300 Mbps, nearly matching the gigabit figure itself. This represents roughly 221 premises with intermediate speeds adequate for everyday use but not professional gigabit work. Critically, 1.9% fall below 10 Mbps, roughly 11 postcodes facing legacy systems. GU27 reflects Chichester's mixed connectivity picture where whilst superfast covers most areas, gigabit penetration lags significantly.
