Broadband speeds in AB31

Share of AB31 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 647 postcodes in the district.

Connectivity here is markedly constrained. Gigabit or ultrafast reaches only 11.3 per cent, a fraction of city averages. The majority (55.9 per cent) settle in the 30-300 Mbps band, offering functional but limited capacity for heavy concurrent use. A substantial tail of 17.9 per cent falls below 10 Mbps (roughly 116 postcodes), a significant cohort facing genuine connectivity barriers. Even superfast coverage at 67.3 per cent leaves 32.7 per cent below 24 Mbps. Against USO minimums, 94.2 per cent qualify, but 5.8 per cent sit below or at the 30 Mbps floor, requiring attention. This profile suggests a semi-rural or rural-fringe district with limited network investment to date.

AB31 broadband FAQs

Why is AB31 so poorly connected compared to central Aberdeen?

The high sub-10 Mbps share (17.9 per cent) and low gigabit penetration (11.3 per cent) indicate AB31 sits in a periphery zone with less network investment than urban cores.

How many premises in AB31 need broadband upgrades?

About 116 postcodes (17.9 per cent) fall below 10 Mbps and are candidates for satellite, mobile solutions, or government schemes like the USO.

Is AB31 expected to improve soon?

The data reflects current coverage; contact local council or Ofcom's Superfast Broadband programme for investment timeline updates.

Can I get 30 Mbps guaranteed in AB31?

94.2 per cent of postcodes qualify for USO minimums or higher, but 5.8 per cent fall short, so a premise check is essential.
