Broadband speeds in DG11
Share of DG11 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 641 postcodes in the district.
Superfast is available to 95.1%, a solid base. Gigabit reaches 59.5%, roughly double the rate in DG10 but still well below southern codes. Speed distribution shows: 59.5% enjoy gigabit, 35.6% sit at 30-300 Mbps superfast, and 2.6% fall below 10 Mbps. Below-USO postcodes account for 0.6%. The deployment pattern suggests infrastructure has advanced beyond basic rollout, with modern gigabit technology reaching half the postcodes. This outward is transitional between slower rural zones and stronger Scottish urban areas. The 35.6% superfast band is material and indicates postcodes where modern infrastructure has reached but at a lower tier. For households in this band, general use is reliable; video-heavy work benefits from gigabit.
