Broadband speeds in IG1
Share of IG1 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 818 postcodes in the district.
94.3% of the 818 premises access gigabit-capable infrastructure. Superfast is near-universal at 97.8%, a strong baseline even for properties missing gigabit. The speed distribution is striking: 94.3% sit in the 300 Mbps-plus bracket, just 3.4% in 30-300 Mbps, and a negligible 0.4% below 10 Mbps. This metropolitan postcode reflects mature, dense fibre and cable networks that have reached saturation. The gigabit-ultrafast equivalence (both 94.3%) indicates cable networks in London deliver gigabit reliably. Full fibre is absent (0%) but the near-identical percentages indicate cable provides gigabit-class service. Zero premises require Universal Service Obligation support, confirming universal coverage above statutory minimums. The 3.4% superfast-only tail represents either older properties or premises where deployment focused on alternative technologies.
