Broadband speeds in SO40

Share of SO40 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,015 postcodes in the district.

SO40 demonstrates strong connectivity across the New Forest area. 94.6% reach superfast, below the UK average but solid for a rural district, 73.5% access gigabit, and just 0.3% sit below the USO minimum. Speed distribution is top-tilted: 75% hit 300+ Mbps, 20% sit in 30-300, and only 0.5% fall below 10 Mbps. The low slow-speed tail is notable for a rural district spanning over a thousand postcodes, suggesting infrastructure has been rolled out more thoroughly here than in typical rural areas. New Forest spans well-served towns and villages; cable and fibre have reached most populated areas, leaving few gaps. The large 20% middle band indicates older fibre and cable coexist with newer gigabit, creating varied speeds across the code.
