Broadband speeds in PA6
Share of PA6 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 168 postcodes in the district.
Broadband here approaches the standards of PA5 closely. 96.6% of postcodes reach superfast speeds, with 87.8% climbing to gigabit levels, a strong result across 168 postcodes. The distribution shows clear upper-tier concentration: 87.8% occupy the 300-plus Mbps category, with only 8.8% in the middle 30-300 range and 3.3% below 10 Mbps. Full-fibre coverage is zero, suggesting cable networks dominate rather than fibre-optic infrastructure. Still, this represents substantial infrastructure investment compared to rural Argyll and Bute postcodes. The 0.1% outside the Universal Service Obligation means near-universal USO coverage. This level of gigabit concentration across a 168-postcode area indicates a mature urban or suburban network with competitive provider presence.
