Broadband speeds in PH39
Share of PH39 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 14 postcodes in the district.
This district exemplifies mid-tier infrastructure. 85% reach superfast (30 Mbps or more), ensuring nearly universal adequacy for standard household use. Gigabit penetration, however, is negligible at 0.3%. The 84.6% in the 30 to 300 Mbps superfast band (about 12 postcodes) will stream, video-call, and browse comfortably; demanding applications or real-time media production will face constraints. Below-10 Mbps affects just 8.7%; below-USO is minimal at 1.2%. PH39 represents a plateau: adequate infrastructure, low risk of severe underservice, but limited high-speed upside. For the typical household, it is sufficient. For gigabit-dependent work, it is insufficient.
