Counting gigabit-capable cable upgrades alongside full-fibre lifts coverage to 83.2%; superfast (30 Mbit/s or more) reaches 97.4% of premises and ultrafast (300 Mbit/s or more) reaches 83.2%.
On connectivity for all households, fewer than 1% of premises in Barrow and Furness fall below the 10 Mbit/s Universal Service Obligation standard, indicating near-universal baseline connectivity. Ofcom tends to raise its speed-tier bars as networks improve, so today's ultrafast line will likely move.
Where these figures come from
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.
