Broadband speeds in KY12
Share of KY12 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 1,107 postcodes in the district.
76.6% have gigabit; 94% reach superfast across the 1,107 postcodes. The 17.4% in the 30 to 300 Mbps band represent older or peripheral areas within the large postcode that have not yet received gigabit upgrades. Below-10Mbps affects 2.7%, a notably higher fraction than the urban Fife cores, suggesting geographic pockets or infrastructure gaps reflecting dispersed settlement or older network segments. One in 200 postcodes (0.6%) falls below Universal Service Obligation thresholds. The bulk of KY12 is served by modern infrastructure, but variation is more pronounced than in postcodes like KY11. This suggests KY12 encompasses more suburban or semi-rural areas alongside urban cores, creating sharper digital divides within the postcode.
