Broadband speeds in WD23
Share of WD23 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 737 postcodes in the district.
WD23 splits between ultrafast capable premises and a smaller segment needing alternative approaches. Around 91.1% of postcodes report 300 Mbps availability. The remaining 8.9% divides into two groups: 7.4% get 30 to 300 Mbps, and 0.2% fall short of 10 Mbps. This distribution reflects a mature gigabit network reaching most of Harrow, with some postcodes still dependent on earlier generation infrastructure for their primary connectivity. Cable networks and fibre deployments have rolled out in phases across the borough. The resulting patchwork means core urban Harrow shows near-total gigabit saturation, while edge postcodes often rely on prior generation services.
