## Methodology

Residential premises unable to receive a 30 Mbit/s fixed connection, by borough, from Ofcom's Spring 2026 release. A higher value is worse; unavailable or suppressed values remain missing rather than becoming zero.

## Visualisations

- [Map](https://londongraph.com/g/below-superfast-broadband): Compare the same measure geographically.
- [Overview](https://londongraph.com/g/below-superfast-broadband?view=overview): The share of homes still unable to order a 30 Mbit/s connection.
- [Distribution](https://londongraph.com/g/below-superfast-broadband?view=distribution): Place every mapped area in the selected measure's distribution while preserving missing values.
- [Fast vs left behind](https://londongraph.com/g/below-superfast-broadband?view=relationship): Compare gigabit availability with premises unable to receive 30 Mbit/s. Caveat: A spatial association does not establish that either measure causes the other.
