Broadband speeds in G82
Share of G82 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 771 postcodes in the district.
Superfast broadband reaches 98.5% of G82 postcodes, the highest superfast threshold among Argyll codes, indicating broad access above the basic 30 Mbps floor. Full fibre deployment is 75.8%, meaning one premises in four relies on cable or other non-fibre gigabit networks for their fastest access tier. The speed outcome is 75.8% at gigabit (300+ Mbps), suitable for remote work and video streaming, with 22.8% in the superfast 30-300 Mbps band for lighter use cases, and zero below Universal Service Obligation. That 23% superfast-only slice is substantial within Argyll and reflects a mixed technology market where cable networks serve a sizeable minority rather than a niche, requiring address-level checks before moving decisions.
