Broadband speeds in LD4
Share of LD4 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 57 postcodes in the district.
LD4's 57 postcodes record the highest superfast coverage among all Powys outward codes, at 82%. Gigabit reaches 62.7%, indicating concentrated cable investment in this small, densely-served area. The speed distribution strongly favours gigabit (62.7%) over mid-tier services (19.4%), reflecting cable dominance rather than fibre rollout. Wireless technology supplements this mix, serving premises where wired networks are sparse. Just 8.6% of postcodes fall below 10 Mbps, and below-USO postcodes number only 0.8%, suggesting near-universal basic service availability despite the small geographic footprint. This demonstrates that modest outward codes can achieve connectivity parity with much larger neighbours when infrastructure investment is concentrated.

LD4 broadband FAQs
Why is LD4 so well-connected compared to other Powys codes?
LD4's 57 postcodes are concentrated geographically, making deployment more economical for cable operators. Smaller, denser districts typically receive faster infrastructure investment than sprawling rural areas.
How many addresses are in LD4?
57 postcodes fall within LD4's boundary. Each postcode may contain multiple premises; this count reflects outward-code divisions, not individual homes.
Is superfast broadband guaranteed in LD4?
82% of LD4 postcodes have superfast access. The remaining 18% fall into lower tiers or below-10-Mbps zones, so coverage is not universal despite being above-average.
What alternative technologies are used in LD4?
Fixed wireless reaches 8.9% of postcodes, supplementing cable's dominant role. Cable gigabit is the primary infrastructure here; full fibre deployment has not reached LD4.
