Utilisation is defined as the mean download speed expressed as a percentage of the maximum mean speed in an area. For example if an area has 100% full fibre coverage at Gigabit speeds the maximum mean possible is 940 Mbps the average observed mean download speed is going to be a lot lower due to consumer choice over which speed tier they purchase and the effect of Wi-Fi on their experience for example.

The generated date is when coverage was at the figures quoted. There is a small amount of lag between broadband infrastructure providers making services available and appearing in the statistics. For VDSL2/FTTC services this is around 2 to 4 weeks, and for FTTP (full fibre) a further couple of weeks should be allowed. If you have a service available and our searches do not indicate it is do feel free to report an addition.

We aim to update the coverage percentages weekly, with the underlying service availability for postcode searches changing several times in a week.

The Governments 95% superfast target is based on the over 24 Mbps definition for superfast services.
