Broadband speeds in PH25
Share of PH25 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 35 postcodes in the district.
Gigabit penetration at 75.2% is respectable for rural Highland, but 8.7% of postcodes (roughly 3 postcodes) lack even the 10 Mbps USO minimum. This is the worst below-USO performance in the D056 batch. The implication: PH25 has digital-exclusion clusters requiring immediate intervention. An additional 10.3% sit below 10 Mbps but above USO thresholds, meaning these households operate on the edge of adequacy. For every postcode with gigabit access, roughly one in eight has been skipped by infrastructure rollout entirely. The 7.5% superfast band is modest. Households considering PH25 must verify carefully; relocation to PH22 or PH23 would secure far greater connectivity confidence.
