Broadband speeds in HS4
Share of HS4 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 9 postcodes in the district.
HS4's 9 postcodes achieve 89.9% superfast penetration, a strong result for so small a population. However, zero gigabit access indicates no cable or modern fibre at scale. All high-speed premises occupy the 30-300 Mbps band (89.9%), with 0.6% below USO (affecting zero or one postcode). The speed profile remains entirely within the superfast tier. No premises can achieve 300-Mbps gigabit capacity. Older fibre or copper infrastructure serves this isolated satellite cluster, sufficient for basic household broadband but not gigabit work.
