Broadband speeds in SA45
Share of SA45 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 93 postcodes in the district.
92.5% of postcodes achieve superfast, remarkably consistent across this tight Ceredigion area. Yet gigabit only reaches 20%, reflecting copper-fibre blending rather than full-fibre saturation. The speed distribution is heavily anchored in the 30-300 Mbps band at 72.5%, the highest concentration in this entire batch and indicating a district dominated by mature copper or early-generation fibre upgrade without gigabit-capable networks. This mid-speed dominance suggests technologies like VDSL or early G.fast that reliably deliver 30-100 Mbps without modern fibre-to-premises. The below-10Mbps tail is minuscule: 0.8%, among the best in this grouping. No postcodes miss Universal Service Obligation thresholds, an achievement for a rural area. The consistency across postcodes suggests uniform infrastructure aging rather than scattered investment.
