Broadband speeds in DD5
Share of DD5 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 972 postcodes in the district.
Ultrafast availability stands at 82.5%, with gigabit at 82.1%. Cable delivers all high-speed access. The speed split reflects a mature two-tier market. Eighty-two point one per cent of postcodes enjoy gigabit speeds, 14.2% access 30-300 Mbps, and 1.4% sit below 10 Mbps. This distribution mirrors DD2's profile, suggesting similar network deployment patterns across mid-Angus. The consistency between DD2 and DD5 indicates cable networks were rolled out in parallel across these adjacent outcodes. For households, the practical implication is clear. Most premises can access gigabit-class infrastructure, with a secondary tier of standard-speed postcodes. Very few face slow-speed constraints. The small percentage below 10 Mbps likely indicates postcodes in remote pockets or using older infrastructure.
