Broadband speeds in N2
Share of N2 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 509 postcodes in the district.
This postcode reveals North London's connectivity divide across 509 addresses. Superfast is universal (99%), meaning no one lacks fast access by USO standards. Yet gigabit reaches only 76.2%, leaving a fifth of addresses stuck below the 300 Mbps threshold. The 20% in the 30-300 Mbps band represents a material difference for households running multiple video calls or large downloads simultaneously. Full fibre matches gigabit exactly at 76.2%, suggesting that speed tiers follow fibre availability tightly. Cable does not supplement fibre to extend gigabit reach. The speed stratification is pronounced: postcodes fall into clear tiers rather than spreading across a spectrum. N2 illustrates that outer Barnet lacks the investment density of central areas.
