Broadband speeds in IP28
Share of IP28 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 841 postcodes in the district.
IP28 is remarkably consistent. Gigabit and ultrafast postcodes number around 62-64%, creating a predominantly high-speed zone. Only 2.9% fall below 10 Mbps, a tiny fraction indicating good baseline infrastructure across the postcode. Wireless coverage adds 0.2%, a thin layer suggesting emerging rural support technology. The 28.8% in the 30-300 Mbps band work as the lower tier, still respectable for everyday household use and standard remote work. Universal Service Obligation gaps are minimal at 1%, meaning virtually all postcodes reach at least basic standards. This East Cambridgeshire postcode has achieved balanced, modern infrastructure allocation. Most households here enjoy either gigabit capacity or strong superfast alternatives. The lack of significant slow-postcode pockets means even those not reaching gigabit have viable, modern service. Households can move here with confidence that broadband infrastructure is mature and thorough.
