Broadband in Cardiff, Wales's capital city gets connected
Cardiff is one of the fastest-growing capitals in Europe, with a rapidly expanding population, two major universities, Cardiff University and Cardiff Metropolitan, and a booming professional and public sector workforce. That growth has driven significant broadband investment, and the city now has some of the best connectivity in Wales.
From the student-heavy streets of Cathays to the family suburbs of Rhiwbina and Llandaff, Cardiff's varied neighbourhoods have different broadband needs. Full fibre coverage has expanded significantly across CF postcodes in recent years, with most central areas now able to access gigabit-capable broadband from at least one provider.
