Broadband speeds in PA24
Share of PA24 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 15 postcodes in the district.
PA24 shows an unusual profile for a rural district: just over 25.8% of its 15 postcodes have gigabit capability, suggesting pockets of modern investment or dense deployment. Superfast availability at 69% indicates that some investment in basic fibre or wireless has occurred, though coverage remains patchy. The gap of 25.8 percentage points between superfast and gigabit suggests that gigabit networks are more recent deployments concentrated in specific locations, whereas superfast infrastructure is older and more dispersed. Around 17.5% of postcodes still fall below 10 Mbps, indicating that despite some modern investment, older infrastructure persists in peripheral areas. Gigabit availability in such a small, remote district points to either a local business case or targeted public subsidy.
