Broadband speeds in PA77
Share of PA77 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 38 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability at 60% sits well above the UK average of about 69% premises passed nationally. The critical issue is the tail. Just over 2% of postcodes miss the 10 Mbps Universal Service Obligation threshold entirely, and a further 10.3% remain stuck below 10 Mbps. The middle tier is modest: only around 25.9% can access speeds between 30 and 300 Mbps. For households in the upper postcodes here, gigabit coverage is secure. For others, broadband quality varies sharply across the district. The split between connected and under-served areas is the defining feature of this code.
