Broadband speeds in S60
Share of S60 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,017 postcodes in the district.
S60 delivers 98.5% superfast and 95.9% gigabit across its 1,017 postcodes. The speed profile is heavily skewed towards gigabit: 95.9% of premises can reach those speeds, 2.6% in the 30-300 Mbps superfast bracket, and 0% below USO. This represents one of the most extensive FTTP rollouts across South Yorkshire. Nearly all premises have gigabit access. The tiny fraction on slower superfast (just 2.6%, roughly 27 addresses) likely reflects service connections in transition or local technical constraints. The complete absence of below-USO premises is notable and shows the systematic coverage across S60. Residents here benefit from mature FTTP infrastructure and full gigabit availability. The infrastructure supports households with multiple simultaneous high-bandwidth uses without issues.
