Broadband speeds in PA30
Share of PA30 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 43 postcodes in the district.
Superfast coverage in PA30 reaches 94% of postcodes, placing it among the better-served districts in Argyll and Bute and slightly below the UK average. Gigabit is nearly absent at 2.5%, meaning perhaps one postcode has modern high-speed fibre. The below-10 Mbps tail affects only 3.5% of premises, indicating consistent basic infrastructure across most of the district. The pattern is clear: public or targeted investment in superfast fibre has been successful and complete, but commercial or further subsidy investment in gigabit has not followed. The infrastructure deployed is modern relative to the most isolated districts, yet static compared to urban standards.
