This coastal district stands apart from other Argyll and Bute postcodes. Among 20 postcodes, 94% achieve superfast speeds and 70.3% reach gigabit levels, reflecting targeted infrastructure deployment. The gigabit-ultrafast equivalence at 70.3% suggests fibre or cable infrastructure specifically deployed to this small area, possibly reflecting coastal accessibility or local investment decisions. The speed distribution reflects this strength clearly: 70.3% occupy the 300-plus tier, 23.7% occupy the 30-300 band, and just 1% are below 10 Mbps, indicating minimal tail-end constraints.
