Share of S42 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 830 postcodes in the district.

S42 delivers superfast to 94.9% and gigabit to 89.3% of these 830 postcodes, a remarkable penetration for any postcode district. The speed distribution is dominated by gigabit at 89.3%, with just 5.6% in the 30-300 Mbps superfast bracket. Below-USO premises are nearly absent at 0.1%, indicating complete network coverage across the area. This postcode district shows strong FTTP deployment, suggesting Bolsover has benefited from focused broadband infrastructure investment.
