Broadband speeds in DT3

Share of DT3 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 695 postcodes in the district.

DT3 covers 695 Dorset postcodes and sits between Dorset's strong codes and weakest tier. Gigabit reaches 68.4%, leaving nearly one-third of postcodes without gigabit access. The 27.8% in the 30-300 Mbps band is substantial, representing roughly 193 postcodes dependent on mid-range speeds as their primary tier. Superfast is 96.2%, a respectable figure for the postcode. Below 10 Mbps is 1.8%, affecting roughly 13 postcodes with potential challenges. Below USO is 0.2%, negligible. Wireless coverage is absent, suggesting postcodes without gigabit have accepted slower terrestrial speeds rather than upgrading via wireless routes or other alternatives. Across 695 postcodes, speed outcomes spread widely between gigabit and mid-range tiers. DT3 is neither strong nor weak but visibly split between these two infrastructure tiers.
