Broadband speeds in LN2
Share of LN2 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,133 postcodes in the district.
LN2 stands well above national averages across every measure. 96% of postcodes reach superfast speeds, and gigabit is available to practically all homes. The ultrafast penetration of 85% places this among the best-connected urban areas in the East Midlands. Remarkably, three-quarters of the gigabit provision comes through fixed wireless rather than full fibre, meaning the city's high-speed story is one of radio networks and cable, not underground ducting. Only 0.1% of postcodes fall below the Universal Service Obligation, suggesting Lincoln's infrastructure investment has reached even remote city-edge addresses.
