Broadband speeds in SA1

Share of SA1 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,195 postcodes in the district.

Superfast covers 97.6% of postcodes. Ultrafast (300 Mbps or faster) reaches 89.4%, supported by gigabit-capable infrastructure at 88%. Note that full fibre data is absent; the gigabit penetration reflects cable networks and any fibre segments recorded separately. Fixed wireless supplements the fixed network at 27.2%, an important safety net in terrain-challenged South Wales. Measured real-world speeds reflect the infrastructure deployed: 89.4% of postcodes hit 300 Mbps or faster, 8.2% sit between 30 and 300 Mbps, and just 0.3% lag below the universal service obligation. The three-technology mix cable, fibre, and fixed wireless suggests mature infrastructure serving most households with multiple viable options.
