Full fibre describes the access technology. Gigabit capable describes speed capability and can include cable. The measures overlap and should not be added together.
How Enfield compares with London.
Full-fibre coverage is 18.9 percentage points lower than the published London figure of 78.4%. Gigabit-capable coverage is 0.4 percentage points higher than London’s 90.8%.
Both comparisons use the January 2026 all-premises snapshot. The London figures are published regional statistics, not an average of borough percentages. This compares area coverage, not provider quality or service at an individual address.
Connecting in Enfield.
Enfield’s January 2026 figures show a substantial distinction between gigabit-capable coverage and full-fibre coverage. That makes the network label particularly useful when checking homes in Enfield Town, Edmonton, Palmers Green, Southgate or Ponders End. A high advertised download rate is not itself proof of FTTP. Ask what reaches the premises and compare upload speeds. If your current connection uses copper from a cabinet, obtain the provider’s estimate for your specific line rather than assuming another address in the same neighbourhood will perform similarly.
Look at the building as well as the street.
- For a Palmers Green or Winchmore Hill home with a loft room, plan the indoor network route to that room.
- For an Edmonton or Ponders End flat, check building permission and the complete flat address.
- For a Southgate home office, distinguish a poor wireless signal from a slow incoming broadband service.
Before you order.
Use these checks to turn the local picture into a decision for your property. Keep the written address-specific quote and installation details together.
- Search the complete house, flat or business-unit address on the network checkers.
- Confirm full fibre, part fibre or cable, plus both download and upload speeds.
- Check any installation permission, engineer appointment and router location.
- Compare the total contract cost, minimum speed commitment and moving-home terms.

Your local questions, answered.
Why is Enfield’s gigabit figure much higher than its full-fibre figure?
Gigabit-capable coverage can include cable networks, whereas full-fibre coverage counts fibre to the premises. The categories are not separate populations that should be added together. Use them to understand the area, then check which network technology is actually offered at your address.
What does the Enfield coverage figure tell me about my address?
It describes the share of premises covered across the local authority in January 2026. It cannot identify the network at your property or confirm a live order. Check your exact address with the network and chosen provider, including the flat number where relevant.
