Broadband speeds in SA42
Share of SA42 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 155 postcodes in the district.
85.9% of postcodes achieve superfast speeds, reflecting solid fibre deployment across this Pembrokeshire area. Gigabit lands at 42.4%, leaving most households on the 30 to 300 Mbps tier where 43.5% congregate. The speed distribution shows a clear middle-heavy profile rather than top-heavy: nearly half the postcodes sit in speeds between 30 and 300 Mbps, the modal band for this district. The speed tail is minimal: 4.8% below 10 Mbps, one of the healthier profiles in this grouping. No postcodes fall outside Universal Service Obligation thresholds, a complete safety net. The gap between superfast and gigabit penetration (85.9% versus 42.4%) suggests that modern full-fibre deployment has not yet reached most premises, leaving them on early copper or VDSL technology instead.
