## Methodology

Full-fibre availability as a share of residential premises, per borough, from Ofcom's Connected Nations Spring 2026 update (January 2026 data). Availability means the network runs past the building and a connection could be ordered — not that anyone has. Ofcom's site refuses automated clients, so the release was retrieved from the Internet Archive's crawl of the same files; the figures are Ofcom's own, byte for byte, and the repository records the exact provenance.

## Visualisations

- [Map](https://londongraph.com/g/where-the-fibre-reaches): Compare the same measure geographically.
- [Overview](https://londongraph.com/g/where-the-fibre-reaches?view=overview): Full fibre passes nine London homes in ten. Passes.
- [Distribution](https://londongraph.com/g/where-the-fibre-reaches?view=distribution): Place every mapped area in the selected measure's distribution while preserving missing values.
- [Availability vs take-up](https://londongraph.com/g/where-the-fibre-reaches?view=relationship): Show where full fibre has been built and where premises subscribe. Caveat: A spatial association does not establish that either measure causes the other.
