Broadband speeds in SS11
Share of SS11 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 463 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit is available to 85.6% of SS11. However, the postcode's story is incomplete without its lower end: 2.1% still sit below 10Mbps (the legal Superfast minimum), whilst another 9.8% languish between 30 to 300Mbps. The gap between leaders and laggards is stark. Wireless covers 2.3%, helping but not closing the divide entirely. Another 0.1% officially lack even Superfast access. For properties at the high end, gigabit is straightforward. For the tail, speeds remain a material constraint. This postcode shows clear stratification: strong gigabit core, substantial mid-tier, and a visible bottom. It represents a microcosm of uneven infrastructure investment.
