Broadband speeds in HS7
Share of HS7 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 43 postcodes in the district.
Superfast broadband is available to just under 68% of postcodes in HS7, significantly below superfast standards of around 97% seen on mainland Britain. The real barrier here is gigabit availability, which reaches only 3.3% of premises. Over one in ten postcodes fall below the Universal Service Obligation of 10 Mbps, a notable proportion in what is otherwise an island service area. The speed distribution tells a clear story: 64.6% occupy the 30-300 Mbps bracket, adequate for most household needs, but 11.5% cannot access reliable superfast speeds. This postcode shows the connectivity challenges facing remote island communities where infrastructure investment concentrates on population centres.
