Broadband Coverage in Cardiff East
Cardiff East is one of Wales's Westminster constituencies, home to 48,291 premises. 98.8% of premises have superfast (30 Mbit/s or more) broadband and 94.2% reach ultrafast (300 Mbit/s or more); underpinning both is a full-fibre figure of 78.5%, broadly in line with national trends, and a gigabit-capable figure of 93.9% once cable upgrades are counted.
On connectivity for all households, the USO gap in Cardiff East is effectively closed, less than 1% of premises fail to reach the 10 Mbit/s baseline. Don't be surprised if Ofcom's ultrafast bar climbs in later reports, gigabit is quickly becoming standard.
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. Nearby constituencies in Wales with comparable full-fibre coverage are listed below.
