Broadband speeds in LD7
Share of LD7 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 192 postcodes in the district.
LD7's 192 postcodes face significant connectivity challenges. Superfast availability (65.9%) falls below typical urban standards by considerable margin. Gigabit (28.1%) is scarce across this Powys outward code. Below-10-Mbps postcodes reach 18.7%, indicating one-fifth of addresses lack basic reliable connectivity. The 30-300 Mbps tier captures 37.8%, more than half the postcodes, making mid-tier fibre the typical experience rather than gigabit. The 8.7% below Universal Service Obligation represent genuine underserved premises. Infrastructure appears limited by deployment sequencing or commercial viability concerns. Households here require targeted investment programmes to reach modern connectivity standards, including subsidy investigation.

18.7% of postcodes report below-10-Mbps performance, a substantial share indicating unmet infrastructure need. These postcodes fall short of the Universal Service Obligation.
