Broadband speeds in AB38
Share of AB38 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 161 postcodes in the district.
Ultrafast deployment is minimal. 9.5 per cent qualify for gigabit or ultrafast (fifteen postcodes at most), likely concentrated in Moray's main settlements. The dominant tier (64.5 per cent, roughly 104 postcodes) sits in the 30-300 Mbps range, suitable for general household tasks but constraining for concurrent heavy use. A secondary tail of 14.4 per cent below 10 Mbps (about twenty-three postcodes) reflects typical Moray rural deprivation. Superfast coverage reaches 74 per cent, leaving 26 per cent below 24 Mbps. Against USO standards, 95 per cent meet or exceed minimums, but 5 per cent require alternative support. This profile shows a rural Moray district with concentrated investment in parish cores but substantial periphery underinvestment.
