Broadband speeds in PL34
Share of PL34 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 79 postcodes in the district.
This small district of 79 postcodes shows lower-than-average connectivity. 90.1% can access superfast speeds, but only 30.5% reach gigabit. The speed profile skews to the middle tier. 59.5% of postcodes occupy the 30-300 Mbps range, adequate for household streaming and video calls. 30.5% hit 300+ Mbps for premium performance. Below 10 Mbps speeds affect 1.6%, and below-USO postcodes account for 1.5%. Wireless access is minimal at 1.3%, so the district relies almost entirely on copper and cable provision. This narrow infrastructure base explains the modest gigabit penetration compared to neighbours.
