Broadband speeds in PH24
Share of PH24 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 22 postcodes in the district.
Three-quarters support gigabit speeds, but the distribution is uneven. 11.7% of postcodes (about 2.6 postcodes) sit below 10 Mbps, significantly higher than the batch median. This two-tier pattern is common in remote Highland: some clusters benefit from fibre or cable rollout whilst others remain on older copper or satellite fallback. The 1.6% below-USO rate is manageable, yet the 11.7% below-10 contingent signals genuine infrastructure gaps. Households in the faster postcodes will have modern connectivity; those in the bottom tier should budget for satellite or alternative solutions. The 7.4% superfast tier provides a small middle ground but not substantial.

PH24 broadband FAQs
Is PH24 reliable for working from home?
Only if your postcode lands in the gigabit tier (74.9%). The 11.7% below 10 Mbps cannot support video calls reliably. Check your specific postcode.
What should I do if I'm in an underserved PH24 postcode?
Request a formal connection check. If no wired network can reach you, explore satellite broadband or the USO scheme; 1.6% of postcodes qualify for intervention.
Why is the below-10 Mbps rate so high here?
Highland's sprawl and varied terrain mean infrastructure investment is scattered. PH24 has benefited in some areas but not others. PH23, by contrast, has achieved far more uniform coverage.
How many postcodes sit in the middle superfast band?
Just 7.4%, roughly 1.6 postcodes. Nearly everything is either gigabit or below 10 Mbps. This polarised profile is typical of rural areas with patchy rollout.
