Broadband speeds in HX5
Share of HX5 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 290 postcodes in the district.
84.3% of the 290 premises enjoy gigabit-capable networks, matching performance within HX5's significantly smaller footprint. With superfast universally available at 97.9%, nearly all households qualify for at least 30 Mbps regardless of gigabit access. Speed brackets cluster tightly: 84.3% see 300 Mbps-plus tier, whilst 13.5% access the 30-300 Mbps band. Crucially, zero properties lag below 10 Mbps, eliminating the connectivity tail that affects some other postcodes. This zero-dropout outcome confirms that fibre or cable investment has genuinely reached every address. Fixed wireless adds to coverage on 32.8% of premises, though it likely functions as secondary capacity given the gigabit-heavy primary deployment. For a 290-postcode area, HX5 achieves near-textbook gigabit penetration with no digital-divide outliers. Investment in this zone has been thorough and uniform.
