Broadband speeds in G71
Share of G71 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 902 postcodes in the district.
Superfast speeds are nearly universal at 96.8% in G71, placing most households above the 30 Mbps baseline. Full fibre reaches 84.2%, placing this Glasgow postcode squarely in the mid-tier for Scotland's largest city. The real-world performance metric is clear: 84.2% at gigabit speeds (300+ Mbps), sufficient for video production and concurrent high-bandwidth tasks. That leaves 12.6% in the superfast 30-300 Mbps band, where cable networks provide reliable if not gigabit performance for web work and streaming. Fewer than one premises in a thousand falls below Universal Service Obligation, so the disconnect is not between fast and slow but between gigabit and superfast infrastructure. The technology split reflects Glasgow's mixed deployment of fibre and legacy cable networks.
