Broadband speeds in YO16
Share of YO16 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 673 postcodes in the district.
East Riding YO16 is exceptional: 94.3% of postcodes access gigabit. Superfast covers 95.9% of postcodes. Yet the speed ladder reveals polarisation: 94.3% above 300 Mbps, only 1.7% between 30 and 300 Mbps, and 3% below 10 Mbps. This split is unusual; high gigabit paired with an outsized slow tail shows a bimodal distribution where urban areas are well-connected and isolated pockets are deeply underserved. Fixed wireless at 21.8% is significant. USO shortfall is negligible at 0.2%. For residents, this means location within YO16 matters significantly: town centres have gigabit, while some rural fringes lack basic provision.
