Broadband speeds in DT4
Share of DT4 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 974 postcodes in the district.
DT4 spans 974 postcodes across Dorset and is notable for the complete absence of slow-speed tails affecting other postcodes. Gigabit reaches 69.9%, and the 29.4% on 30-300 Mbps band is large but exceptionally clean, representing roughly 286 postcodes on mid-range speeds as their service tier. Importantly, both below-10 Mbps and below-USO are zero, indicating universal coverage at acceptable minimum standards across all 974 addresses. Superfast is 99.3%, virtually universal throughout the entire postal district. Wireless coverage is entirely absent. The postal district is sharply divided between gigabit and mid-range infrastructure tiers, but with zero service failure whatsoever. Most residents get either gigabit or reliable mid-range speeds depending on postcode location relative to cable trunk infrastructure placement. DT4's speed distribution is bimodal and highly predictable across the district.
