Broadband speeds in DT6

Share of DT6 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 981 postcodes in the district.

DT6 is Dorset's second-weakest postal district with 981 postcodes and presents a rural broadband profile. Gigabit covers just 33.4%, the second-lowest across this batch, leaving two-thirds of postcodes without gigabit access. Superfast is 92.3%, meeting the 2016 target but barely. The majority, 58.9%, occupy the 30-300 Mbps tier, representing roughly 578 postcodes dependent on mid-range speeds. Below 10 Mbps is 2.4%, roughly 24 postcodes, and below USO is 1.1%, roughly 11 postcodes with material challenges. Wireless coverage is absent, leaving postcodes without cable with no wireless alternative. Across 981 postcodes, broadband is postcode-dependent and often slow. DT6 faces Dorset's toughest rural broadband challenge.
