KA26 broadband FAQs
Is KA26 as well-connected as the North Ayrshire urban codes?
No. 67.5% gigabit and 95.7% superfast fall short of the coverage in North Ayrshire's urban postcodes, which cluster at higher gigabit and superfast penetration.
What should I do if I'm in the 1% below 10 Mbps in KA26?
Request a formal speed check and investigate universal service obligation eligibility. Alternative delivery methods may be available.
What does below the universal service obligation mean?
About 4 postcodes cannot guarantee 10 Mbps annually. You may be entitled to a funded upgrade under Ofcom's USO scheme.
Is superfast adequate in KA26?
Yes. 30 to 300 Mbps handles home working, streaming and video calls. Gigabit is not necessary for standard household use.
