PR2 broadband and area guide

Gigabit capacity reaches 86.8% of postcodes, delivered predominantly via cable. Fixed wireless availability reaches 36.4%, providing access to roughly one-third of postcodes without cable infrastructure. The speed distribution is tightly clustered: 87.3% at gigabit, 11.4% at 30-300 Mbps, and 0.4% below 10 Mbps. That trailing fraction of sub-10 Mbps postcodes is negligible. Superfast coverage (30 Mbps and above) reaches 98.7%. Cable availability dominates PR2's connectivity, with gigabit access more common than mid-speed services. The 11.4% at 30-300 Mbps split between wireless-served postcodes and copper-only addresses, typically delivering 40-150 Mbps. Fixed wireless here provides useful coverage where cable economics didn't justify deployment; households on this infrastructure experience generally reliable 30-80 Mbps with less latency than satellite but more sensitivity to weather and antenna sightlines. The near-absence of sub-10 Mbps addresses suggests either full deployment or rare outlier cases.

PR2 is a step down from PR1 in gigabit concentration, reflecting either more dispersed suburban settlement or later cable deployment. Fixed wireless at 36.4% still provides useful backup for premises beyond cable routes. Households here face a lower risk of poor connectivity than UK averages.
