Speed Band Classification

Coverage percentages across Ofcom-defined tiers: gigabit (≥1Gbps), ultrafast (≥100Mbps), superfast (≥30Mbps), and underserved premises below 10Mbps. Instant identification of connectivity quality for any location.

Technology Breakdown

Infrastructure composition by technology type. Fibre-to-premises (FTTP) penetration, cable network availability, legacy DSL coverage, fixed wireless access, and satellite broadband - revealing the true nature of local connectivity.

Mobile Operator Coverage

Individual coverage metrics for EE, O2, Vodafone, and Three. Indoor and outdoor availability for 4G and 5G networks. Understand mobile infrastructure gaps at operator level, not just aggregate statistics.

Overview

Comprehensive digital infrastructure intelligence combining fixed broadband availability and mobile network coverage into a unified connectivity assessment for any UK geography.

The API returns speed band coverage across Ofcom-defined tiers: gigabit (≥1Gbps), ultrafast (≥100Mbps), superfast (≥30Mbps), and underserved premises. Technology breakdowns reveal infrastructure composition - fibre-to-premises penetration, cable availability, legacy DSL, fixed wireless, and satellite coverage percentages.

Mobile coverage metrics span all major UK operators with indoor and outdoor availability for 4G and 5G networks. Composite connectivity scores normalise fixed and mobile data into comparable 0-100 indices for portfolio-wide analysis.

Historical time series track infrastructure rollout over multiple reporting periods, enabling trend analysis and investment timing decisions. Data is queryable at postcode level with aggregation support across administrative hierarchies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the speed tiers?
Ofcom defines four standard tiers: Gigabit (≥1Gbps) for future-proof fibre connections, Ultrafast (≥100Mbps) for demanding multi-device households, Superfast (≥30Mbps) for standard streaming and video calls, and Decent (≥10Mbps) as the minimum for basic use. We report coverage percentages for each tier.
How is mobile coverage measured?
Mobile coverage is reported separately for indoor and outdoor availability, reflecting signal penetration differences. We provide operator-level data for EE, O2, Vodafone, and Three across 4G and 5G networks where available.
What does the composite connectivity score represent?
A normalised 0-100 index combining fixed broadband speed availability and mobile coverage strength. Scores above 80 indicate excellent digital infrastructure; below 50 suggests significant connectivity limitations. Useful for portfolio-wide comparison without analysing raw metrics.
How current is the data?
Ofcom publishes Connected Nations data biannually. We ingest updates within days of release and maintain historical periods for trend analysis. Data vintage is included in API responses for transparency.
