This data includes the average fixed-line broadband speed by output area, based on 2016-2022 data released by Ofcom. The source data file is linked below.
For 2016 and 2017, CDRC aggregated the supplied postcode data by output areas as defined by the 2011 Census (OA11CD) and the smallest areas for which extents are openly available.
For 2018-2021, Ofcom now itself aggregates by OA11CD, on its Connected Nations data downloads website. For 2022, some data was aggregated by Ofcom by OA21 and some by OA11CD. We have allocated the OA21 to OA11 geographies on a best-fit basis to allow for continued comparison.
Data files include measures of data coverage and performance. Please see the variable dictionaries for a guide to the column meanings.
