Broadband speed map

Will the internet be any good? The Broadband layer shades each neighbourhood by the fastest download speed available to a typical home there — from under 30 Mbit/s up to gigabit — using Ofcom’s official availability data.

What the map shows

Ofcom’s Connected Nations data records, postcode by postcode, what speeds providers actually offer. Each neighbourhood is coloured by the median of the fastest service available per postcode — availability, not take-up: what you could order, not what current residents have bought.

Reading the bands

Gigabit (1000+ Mbit/s) usually means full fibre or upgraded cable is in the street; 300–1000 ultrafast; 100–300 and 30–100 superfast; under 30 Mbit/s means only basic connections are on sale — worth checking before you commit to a home.

Coverage and caveats

Ofcom’s postcode data and this map’s shading both cover the whole UK — English & Welsh LSOAs, Scottish Data Zones and Northern Irish Super Data Zones. Data is the Connected Nations Spring 2026 update; new build-outs can outpace it, so treat borderline areas as “check with providers”.
