Broadband speeds in DG2
Share of DG2 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 882 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit availability sits at 75.2% of postcodes via cable networks, a distribution common across Dumfries and Galloway. Superfast (30-300 Mbps) covers 21.4% more, bringing the 96.6% superfast-or-better figure into view. The tail includes 1.5% below 10 Mbps and 0.5% falling short of the Universal Service Obligation minimum of 10 Mbps. Speed grades diverge sharply: most premises face either gigabit cable or solid superfast, not intermediate speeds. Below-10-Mbps postcodes number roughly 13 out of 882. Cable dominates infrastructure here; FTTP (fibre to the premises) is absent. For residents, this split between gigabit and superfast is the operative choice.
