Broadband speeds in PH40
Share of PH40 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 9 postcodes in the district.
Connectivity is inconsistent across PH40's 9 postcodes. Gigabit reaches only one in five. Over half sit at superfast (30 to 300 Mbps), competent for most household needs. However, 21% fall below 10 Mbps, and 13.9% miss USO entirely, indicating infrastructure gaps affecting roughly 2 to 3 postcodes. This is another polarised district: gigabit clusters coexist with digital-exclusion pockets. The 54.3% superfast median provides a safety net; most households will have adequate service. Those landing in the below-10 postcodes face serious constraints. Postcode verification is non-negotiable before making any relocation or work commitments.
