Broadband speeds in DT11
Share of DT11 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,068 postcodes in the district.
DT11 is Dorset's largest postal district with 1,068 postcodes and variable infrastructure. Scale and variation combine, meaning coverage is broad but uneven. Gigabit drops to 81.9%, notably lower than DT1 and DT10, reflecting suburban infrastructure patterns. Superfast is 96.4%. The 13.7% in the 30-300 Mbps band becomes material, indicating one in seven premises relies on mid-range speeds. Below 10 Mbps rises to 1.7%, roughly 18 postcodes out of 1,068 with potential challenges. Below USO sits 0.3%. Wireless coverage is minimal at 2.4%, so wireless does not compensate for cable gaps. DT11 is Dorset's most variable postal district in this batch, though still delivering broadband to nearly all addresses. DT11's 1,000+ postcodes show variable coverage.
