Broadband speeds in GU6
Share of GU6 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 557 postcodes in the district.
GU6 (Chichester area) covers 557 postcodes with uneven coverage: gigabit at 69.1% indicates cable reaches key clusters but gaps exist. Superfast reaches 92.1%, respectable but below rural norms. The 23% in the 30-300 Mbps band are pockets without cable gigabit, typically older copper or fibre-without-gigabit premises. The troubling fraction: 3.5% fall below 10 Mbps, a meaningful tail at this postcode's size. The 0.9% below universal service thresholds signal a handful of unserved outliers. GU6 presents mixed broadband risk. City edges get cable gigabit; rural fringes face speed constraints. This postcode requires postcode-level due diligence.
