Broadband speeds in PH20
Share of PH20 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 52 postcodes in the district.
Three-quarters of this Highland district enjoy gigabit speeds, a striking result for rural Scotland. Only 4.8% fall below 10 Mbps, but 7.7% miss the Universal Service Obligation threshold, the highest below-USO rate in the batch. This suggests pockets of genuine underservice coexist with well-developed networks. The 9.4% in the 30 to 300 Mbps bracket represent the district's only moderate-speed contingent; everything else is gigabit-capable. For a rural area, this is exceptional infrastructure. Households in the 7.7% below-USO zones need to investigate alternative connectivity (satellite or mobile solutions) as wired networks have not yet reached them. The overall picture is positive, tempered by localized gaps.

PH20 broadband FAQs
Is PH20 a good option for remote work?
Mostly, yes. 74% of postcodes support gigabit connectivity reliably. However, 7.7% lack even basic USO coverage, so postcode verification is non-negotiable.
What should I do if my PH20 postcode is below the USO minimum?
You're entitled to request a formal check. If no wired network can be installed, the USO scheme may mandate a satellite or mobile solution provided at cost.
How much of PH20 is below superfast speeds?
About 7.7% below USO and 4.8% below 10 Mbps. The remainder reach at least superfast; 74% reach gigabit.
Why is below-USO coverage different here versus PH21?
Infrastructure rollout has been uneven across PH20. Certain clusters have gigabit networks; others have been skipped. PH21 has similar gigabit penetration but lower below-USO numbers (4.6%).
