Frequently asked questions

What broadband speeds are typical across Wales?
The typical broadband speed across Wales is 84 Mbps. The UK average is 101 Mbps. Across the region, speeds range from 54 Mbps in Blaenau Gwent to 131 Mbps in Cardiff, so the speed you get depends on where you live and the package you choose.
How does fibre broadband coverage vary across Wales?
Coverage across Wales is 83% for gigabit broadband and 97% for superfast (30 Mbps or more), against a UK gigabit figure of 88%. Council areas within the region differ, so the regional figure is only a rough guide.

Which part of Wales has the fastest broadband?
Cardiff leads Wales on typical speed with 131 Mbps, and Blaenau Gwent is at the other end with 54 Mbps. Speeds also vary from street to street within each council area.
Why is my broadband slow in Wales?
It isn't just you: the typical speed in Wales is 84 Mbps, below the UK average of 101 Mbps. For many people, though, slow broadband comes from an old package rather than the network, and a faster one may be available on the same line.
Can I get gigabit broadband in Wales?
Gigabit broadband in Wales reaches 83% of premises, so most can choose a gigabit package. Many homes don't need that much speed, so a cheaper, slower package may do.
Is 5G home broadband available in Wales?
Outdoor 5G reaches 92% of premises in Wales, so 5G home broadband is an option at most of them. It uses a router that connects to the mobile network, with no phone line or fibre needed, and how well it works depends on the signal at your home. It is worth comparing with fixed-line deals.
Is broadband in Wales any good?
Good, on the whole: gigabit is available to 83% of premises in Wales. If your bill has gone up while new-customer deals have got faster and cheaper, it may be time to compare.
