Broadband Coverage in Arundel and South Downs
Arundel and South Downs is a Westminster parliamentary constituency in England with 48,811 premises. Full-fibre (FTTP) broadband is available to 49.3% of premises — below the UK national average for a UK constituency. The gigabit-capable figure of 49.3% is typically higher than full-fibre because it includes premises served by upgraded cable (DOCSIS 3.1) networks where a full-fibre connection is not yet available. Superfast broadband (≥30 Mbit/s) covers 93.7% of premises, and ultrafast (≥300 Mbit/s) reaches 49.6%.
On connectivity for all households, fewer than 1% of premises in Arundel and South Downs fall below the 10 Mbit/s Universal Service Obligation standard, indicating near-universal baseline connectivity. The ge300 column shows coverage at the 300 Mbit/s threshold — 49.6% of premises can access this tier — which is relevant as Ofcom's ultrafast threshold may be revised upward in future reporting cycles as gigabit networks become the standard.
Figures are drawn from Ofcom's Connected Nations 2025 report (July 2025, r01), which aggregates postcode-sector data to constituency level. They represent coverage availability from at least one network operator — not the proportion of households that have subscribed to a given speed tier, nor the typical or guaranteed speeds that customers actually receive.
