Broadband speeds in DD1
Share of DD1 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 492 postcodes in the district.
Superfast reaches 90.9% of DD1 postcodes, indicating strong baseline coverage. Gigabit availability (65%) is solid for Scotland, suggesting cable or fibre deployment concentrated in the urban core. Speed distribution reveals concentration at both ends: 65% enjoy 300 Mbps or faster, 25.8% sit in the superfast band, and 0.1% fall below 10 Mbps. Below-USO postcodes are absent. This is a city-centre profile where high-speed infrastructure is deployed, though not universally. The 25.8% superfast band reflects the typical split between densely served urban areas and peripheral postcode locations where infrastructure roll-out has reached but not to gigabit tier. For households in the superfast band, general use is reliable; video-heavy or upload-intensive work may experience capacity constraints.
