Broadband speeds in M7
Share of M7 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 773 postcodes in the district.
M7 spans 773 postcodes where 87% have full fibre gigabit deployed. Speed distribution shows: 87.9% at gigabit capacity, 10.9% at 30-300 Mbps, 98.8% at or above superfast. The small gap between full fibre (87%) and gigabit observations (87.9%) reflects measurement variation or cable serving non-fibre premises. This mixed infrastructure means households need to verify their postcode, as 13% without full fibre rely on alternative technologies. Postcode variation within M7 is material enough that infrastructure checks are worthwhile before committing. The deployment pattern here shows staged rollout, with core areas completed but edge zones still on legacy services. Households in superfast-only zones should assess their speed needs against typical cable performance.
