Data from Thinkbroadband (http://labs.thinkbroadband.com/local/weaver-vale,E14001024) and the Department's own models indicate that, of the 40,400 premises in Weaver Vale, 2.4% or approximately 975 premises do not have access to what the Department determines to be 'high speed' broadband (more than 10Mbits/second). We do not hold this figure broken down between residential, commercial and industrial premises.
