Broadband speeds in PE31
Share of PE31 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 875 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability falls to 50.5% in PE31, marking a significant step down from nearby fibre-rich areas. Superfast still covers 89.7% of postcodes, but 2.7% land below the Universal Service Obligation, signalling real connectivity stress in some rural pockets. The speed profile is more evenly split: half the premises reach gigabit, but 39.2% occupy the 30 to 300 Mbps middle tier, and 5.6% struggle below 10 Mbps. This outcode carries visible inequality in broadband access, with some households well-served by gigabit and others reliant on conventional superfast. The tail of substandard speeds, though small at 5.6%, deserves urgent attention.
