Broadband speeds in SK12
Share of SK12 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 486 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit coverage at 59.3% ranks SK12 among the weakest of this outward cluster, with ultrafast matching that figure. The speed distribution reveals the story: only 59.3% reach 300+ Mbps whilst 35.2%, more than one in three postcodes, max out between 30 and 300 Mbps. This distribution suggests many premises have graduated from basic superfast but lack access to gigabit infrastructure, a common intermediate state. Just 1.3% sit below 10 Mbps, keeping the slow tail manageable. Below-USO premises account for 0.3%. Superfast broadband reaches 94.5%, healthy but masking wide speed variation across the district. SK12 typifies areas where superfast rollout completed yet gigabit deployment remains selective.
