Broadband speeds in PH21
Share of PH21 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 106 postcodes in the district.
Over three-quarters support gigabit speeds. The below-10 Mbps contingent represents the district's challenge: about 8 postcodes in genuine digital need. Below-USO coverage is tighter here (4.6%) than in PH20, suggesting infrastructure is more fully rolled out, even if pockets still lack any service. The 9.5% in the 30 to 300 Mbps zone represent the district's modest tail, mostly competent for standard household use but not the gigabit experience. This is a Highland district where most can plan modern connectivity work, but a small fraction must explore alternatives. The overall infrastructure investment is solid, though not flawless.
