Broadband Coverage in Belfast West

Northern Ireland constituency Belfast West counts 48,318 premises within its boundary. 95.3% have a gigabit-capable connection once cable upgrades are counted alongside full-fibre, which alone covers 93.2% of premises, above-average. Superfast (30 Mbit/s or more) reaches 99.8%, ultrafast (300 Mbit/s or more) reaches 95.3%.

On connectivity for all households, barely any premises in Belfast West, under 1%, miss the 10 Mbit/s Universal Service Obligation floor. 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.
