Broadband speeds in EH11
Share of EH11 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 932 postcodes in the district.
Full fibre reaches 96.1%, matching measured speeds above 300 Mbps at 97.8%, an exceptional alignment indicating gigabit provisioning is universal across served premises. Only 1.8% occupy the 30-300 Mbps band. Zero postcodes sit below 30 Mbps. EH11's near-total gigabit deployment is remarkable for a district this size and reflects newer suburban or planned-development build-out. The tight consistency between gigabit fibre availability and actual measured speeds shows ISPs have invested in high-speed provisioning rather than entry-level packages. EH11's scale (932 postcodes) combined with 96.1% gigabit makes it a standout suburban location for broadband-intensive households.

EH11 broadband FAQs
How high does EH11's gigabit rate rank in Edinburgh?
96.1% is exceptional. It matches the highest performers in this dataset.
Why do 97.8% of EH11 record 300+ Mbps when gigabit is 96.1%?
Measured speeds are slightly higher than gigabit-fibre percentages; cable networks also deliver 300+ Mbps. Some addresses on quality superfast exceed 300 Mbps without full fibre.
Would a tech startup choose EH11 over central Edinburgh?
For broadband alone, yes. EH11's 96.1% gigabit is excellent. However, central locations have their own amenities. Choose based on office location; EH11 has strong fibre.
What should residents in EH11's 1.8% slower-speed postcodes do?
Contact their ISP about fibre upgrade timelines. Given EH11's overall gigabit penetration, your building may be weeks from gigabit availability.
