HD3 broadband FAQs
Why does HD3 have more fixed wireless than HD2?
57.5% vs 44%. HD3 extends further into rural Calderdale, requiring more wireless uplift.
Is fixed wireless at 57.5% reliable for work-from-home?
Depends on location. Cable gigabit (89.6%) is reliable; fixed wireless is functional but may show latency spikes. Check your specific postcode.
What's the speed experience if I get fixed wireless in HD3?
Typically 30-100 Mbps, solid for casual streaming and calls. Not gigabit, but far better than dial-up or nothing.
Should I avoid HD3 for broadband if I'm remote-working full-time?
Not necessarily. 89.6% have cable gigabit. You'll likely avoid fixed wireless entirely. Check your postcode first.
