Broadband speeds in SE28
Share of SE28 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 416 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit infrastructure here reaches only 79.3 per cent of the 416 postcodes, a marked drop from London's better-served areas. The speed mix reveals why: 80.7 per cent access 300 Mbps or higher, but 19.2 per cent fall into the 30 to 300 Mbps band, suggesting a mix of cable gigabit and superfast-only fibre or copper. Superfast speeds meet near-universal availability at 99.8 per cent, meaning the entire postcode district clears the USO hurdle. This gap between gigabit and top-speed availability indicates uneven infrastructure deployment. Some postcodes have received cable gigabit investment; others rely on ageing fibre or copper delivering speeds in the 50 to 100 Mbps range. Households planning to move to SE28 should verify their specific postcode before committing to gigabit-dependent workflows or relocating a media-editing business.
