HD1 broadband FAQs
Is HD1's gigabit availability real, or inflated by fixed wireless?
Real. 90.4% is cable-driven. Fixed wireless (18.4%) is secondary, filling gaps beyond cable reach. The two overlap.
What's fixed wireless's role in HD1 broadband?
It supports postcodes beyond cable range. Not all fixed wireless areas can access gigabit wired speeds, but the mix works well.
Should I assume fixed wireless will serve my HD1 postcode?
Only if you're outside cable coverage, rare here (cable is 90.4%). Fixed wireless is a fallback, not the norm.
How reliable is fixed wireless in HD1 for remote work?
Adequate if it's your only option, though not ideal for very latency-sensitive tasks. Cable gigabit (90.4%) is more stable for professional use.
