Broadband speeds in DG13
Share of DG13 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 140 postcodes in the district.
DG13 sits at Scotland's rollout frontier. Gigabit reaches just 24.7%, indicating very early-stage network investment or significant terrain challenges. Wireless broadband tops 0.3% across this batch, serving the most isolated properties. Superfast extends to 86.3%, but 61.6% of postcodes occupy the slow 30-300 superfast band. The below-10-Mbps tail measures 9.4%, roughly one household in eleven, and 6.7% miss the universal service obligation. This represents Scotland's slowest-connectivity postcode within the current batch. Speed distribution is heavily skewed toward the mid-band, indicating older copper networks remain dominant with minimal gigabit infrastructure. Wireless technology addresses the most remote locations entirely disconnected from cable and fibre.
