Broadband speeds in KY4
Share of KY4 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 509 postcodes in the district.
Cable gigabit infrastructure supports three-quarters of KY4, providing the district's connectivity backbone. 76.5% of postcodes reach gigabit-capable speeds, whilst 95.1% meet or exceed the superfast standard. Speed distribution shows a clear tier separation: 76.5% enjoy 300+ Mbps performance, 18.6% occupy the 30-300 Mbps middle ground, and 1.8% languish below 10 Mbps. Notably, 0.3% of postcodes fall beneath the Ofcom Universal Service Obligation floor of 10 Mbps, marking a slightly larger shortfall than some neighbouring codes. The concentration of gigabit availability at three-quarters means property search here can focus on the gigabit postcodes with confidence, though the 18.6% moderate-speed alternatives warrant investigation if identified. This distribution suits households across the bandwidth spectrum.
