Broadband speeds in East Ayrshire

Share of premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across every East Ayrshire postcode.

Superfast coverage runs at 96% across East Ayrshire's 14 outward codes. Gigabit-capable availability reaches 73.7%. Full fibre, counted separately, barely features: 0.1% overall, with G78 the only listed outward code showing meaningful availability, at around one postcode in five. KA1, KA2, KA11 and KA19 all record none in this dataset.

For households the distinction matters less than it sounds. A gigabit option exists for nearly three postcodes in four regardless of how the connection is delivered, and the 96% superfast figure sits close to the national norm of roughly 97 per cent, so a workable baseline is rarely in doubt. The tail is short too. Only 1.6% of the area's 3,892 postcodes fall below 10Mbps, which makes genuinely slow addresses the exception rather than the pattern.

East Ayrshire at a glance

Movers comparing East Ayrshire addresses should treat the outward code as a rough guide only. With full fibre at 0.1%, choosing between packages will usually mean choosing between a superfast line and a cable-delivered gigabit product where one is available. A near-universal superfast footprint means most households can settle on something adequate quickly. The 1.6% below 10Mbps is small but not zero, so the slowest addresses do still exist.
