Broadband speeds in HS9
Share of HS9 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 48 postcodes in the district.
HS9 outperforms HS7 and HS8 on superfast reach, with 75.4% of postcodes qualifying, yet still 22 points behind the typical mainland average of approximately 97%. Gigabit and full fibre remain scarce at 2.2% each. The speed tale is instructive: 73.2% fall into the 30-300 Mbps sweet spot, but 15.9% (the highest proportion in the three HS sectors) cannot meet the 10 Mbps USO minimum. This postcode presents a paradox: higher-than-average superfast coverage masking the most acute undersupply at the low end. Premises in that tail may struggle with basic video or simultaneous household use.
