Broadband speeds in EH20
Share of EH20 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 227 postcodes in the district.
Full fibre and gigabit are just under two-thirds in EH20, lower than some neighbouring Midlothian postcodes. Superfast coverage is at 99.3%. Most are on gigabit, but one-third have 30-300 Mbps, showing an infrastructure gap. This split is typical of a district still rolling out fibre, with some older networks remaining. No postcodes are below USO minimums, but speed options vary across EH20. Deployment is ongoing, not complete. Households should check their postcode for available speeds. The high gigabit penetration indicates mature cable or fibre infrastructure reaching most households throughout the district. Cable networks support ultrafast delivery, extending gigabit access to areas where fibre deployment remains incomplete. Households considering a move should verify their target postcode's speed tier, as availability ranges widely across the area.

EH20 broadband FAQs
Is gigabit fibre available in EH20?
For just under two-thirds of postcodes, yes. The remaining third are on 30-300 Mbps infrastructure, often hybrid copper networks delivering decent but not gigabit speeds.
How does EH20 broadband compare to EH19?
EH19 has much higher gigabit penetration. EH20 reflects an earlier stage of fibre deployment, with more pockets of older networks.
If I am on 30-300 Mbps, is that adequate?
For most households yes, though remote workers on video calls or backing up large files will notice limits. 30-300 Mbps covers streaming and web use comfortably.
Could my postcode get upgraded to gigabit?
Possibly. Contact your provider about fibre availability or upgrade timelines. Some hybrid networks are being replaced with full fibre in Midlothian.
