OX5 spans 656 postcodes across Buckinghamshire with strong but not universal gigabit coverage and minimal connectivity gaps.

Broadband speeds in OX5

Share of OX5 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 656 postcodes in the district.

77.9% of postcodes qualify for gigabit speeds delivered entirely via cable networks across Buckinghamshire. Full fibre is absent from this area. The 15% in the 30-300 Mbps range represents the bulk of non-gigabit premises, most on mature cable infrastructure awaiting upgrade or not prioritised for deployment. Just 1.4% fall below superfast at 30 Mbps, and zero postcodes drop below 10 Mbps. Superfast is available to 95.3%, meaning at least 19 in 20 premises can reliably upgrade to 30 Mbps or higher. This is a well-covered area with strong cable investment.
