Broadband speeds in ST19
Share of ST19 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 453 postcodes in the district.
Ultrafast and gigabit reach 75.8 per cent of ST19's 453 postcodes, while superfast availability is 87.7 per cent, leaving a 12 per cent gap of postcodes with only basic speeds. The below-10 Mbps tail of 5.3 per cent (24 postcodes) is among the highest in the batch. The Universal Service Obligation undersupply rate of 0.5 per cent is low, but the broader below-10 Mbps cohort signals infrastructure unevenness across the area. Those 11.9 per cent sitting in the 30 to 300 Mbps middle band find stable mid-speed service. The data shows that ST19 has received less full infrastructure investment than neighbouring urban Staffordshire areas, reflecting rural settlement patterns.
