Broadband speeds in MK40

Share of MK40 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 894 postcodes in the district.

Bedford's MK40 shows solid but slightly varied broadband performance. Gigabit-capable infrastructure reaches 83.2%, ultrafast covers 87%, and superfast achieves 95.3%. Measured Ookla testing shows average download of 286.1 Mbps and upload of 111.8 Mbps. The notably lower upload compared to Milton Keynes peer codes suggests cable-gigabit deployment, which delivers asymmetric speed profiles. Speed distribution concentrates favourably: 90.1% exceed 300 Mbps, 7.7% fall in 30-300 Mbps, and zero experience sub-10 Mbps. No postcodes breach the Universal Service Obligation. Cable infrastructure provides the foundation throughout. The 894-postcode district represents a well-serviced area with mature coverage.
