Broadband Coverage in North West Leicestershire

North West Leicestershire is a Westminster constituency in England covering 49,424 premises. Full-fibre reaches 69.7% of them, broadly in line with national trends for a UK seat, while gigabit-capable coverage (which also counts upgraded DOCSIS 3.1 cable) stands at 89.3%. Superfast (30 Mbit/s or more) covers 98.4% and ultrafast (300 Mbit/s or more) reaches 89.7%.

On connectivity for all households, North West Leicestershire has near-universal baseline connectivity, under 1% of premises sit below the 10 Mbit/s Universal Service Obligation threshold. Expect Ofcom's definition of "ultrafast" to shift upward over time, gigabit-capable networks are becoming the new baseline.

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 England with comparable full-fibre coverage are listed below.
