Broadband speeds in PA66
Share of PA66 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 8 postcodes in the district.
This small district ranks among the best-connected in west Scotland. 94.2% of postcodes hit gigabit speeds, with ultrafast identical at 94.2%, indicating a complete fibre or cable network blanket. The speed distribution is telling: 94.2% occupy the 300-plus Mbps tier, zero sit in the 30-300 Mbps band, and 5.1% are below 10 Mbps. Full-fibre is zero, so cable or a mixed network likely dominates. The 5.8% outside the Universal Service Obligation represents a tiny underserved tail. This level of gigabit access in a rural eight-postcode area suggests targeted investment, possibly coastal access or a specific infrastructure project.
