Broadband speeds in LN3
Share of LN3 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 289 postcodes in the district.
Just over six in ten postcodes have gigabit-capable infrastructure, with more than 82% of the area reaching superfast speeds. The gigabit gain comes overwhelmingly from fixed wireless networks, which dominate this mostly rural territory. The spread is telling: 64% reach the 300+ Mbps tier, 24% land in the 30-300 Mbps sweet spot, and 6% fall below superfast. That bottom tail represents real connectivity poverty in a patch where around four in five postcodes do have modern infrastructure; the rural divide in LN3 is stark.
