HG4 broadband FAQs
How does HG4 compare to HG3?
Gigabit availability is nearly identical at around 50%, but HG4's below-10-Mbps share is more concerning.
What's the below-USO situation?
2.5% of postcodes fall below the universal service baseline. Roughly 25 postcodes out of 984 need provider attention.
Does fixed wireless help or complicate things?
Fixed wireless at 54.4% carries much of the infrastructure load, but also reflects incomplete cable coverage in an area this size.
Should I expect connectivity challenges?
If you're in the 10.4% below-10-Mbps range, yes. Otherwise, most postcodes connect at superfast or above, but with less gigabit availability than strong southern codes.
