Broadband speeds in PR25
Share of PR25 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 732 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit infrastructure covers 91.5% of PR25, nearly all via cable. Fixed wireless adds to coverage at 20.1%. The speed profile is cleanly distributed: 92.9% at gigabit, 5.7% at 30-300 Mbps, and 0.6% below 10 Mbps. Superfast coverage is nearly complete at 98.6%. This tight clustering around gigabit speeds suggests a mature, densely wired suburban area with minimal underserved pockets. Cable networks dominate in PR25, with gigabit access becoming the standard. Households on cable enjoy reliable high-speed performance for multitasking, streaming and conferencing simultaneously. The 5.7% intermediate band represents postcodes either beyond cable deployment or served by intermediate-tier infrastructure. Fixed wireless serves roughly one in five postcodes as backup or primary access where cable isn't present. The very low proportion below 10 Mbps (0.6%, roughly four or five postcodes across 732) indicates near-complete coverage, a strong result for any district.

PR25 broadband FAQs
Will my postcode in PR25 definitely have gigabit?
92.9% do, but 7% don't. Check your exact postcode; most postcodes in the 30-300 Mbps band are older suburban areas or postcodes on the district's edges.
Is fixed wireless common in PR25?
At 20.1%, it's present but not dominant. Most FWA postcodes are likely gaps between cable routes; cable remains the primary infrastructure.
How rare is poor broadband here?
Only 0.6% of postcodes fall below 10 Mbps, representing around four or five addresses across the entire outcode. This is an exceptionally low proportion.
Are Chorley postcodes all equally well-connected?
PR25 is the strongest. Other Chorley outcodes vary. PR26 is weaker; PR4, PR5, and PR7 cluster in the 80-90% gigabit range.
