The speed distribution tilts toward the high end: 88.5% of postcodes can achieve 300 Mbps and above. The remaining 10.6% have access to the 30 to 300 Mbps band, likely from wireless or older copper lines that bypass fibre.

Strong gigabit penetration is paired with reliable superfast coverage for the minority outside the fibre footprint.
