Broadband speeds in PH26
Share of PH26 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 135 postcodes in the district.
Fewer than two postcodes in three reach gigabit speeds in PH26, a material decline from higher-performing Highland areas. Over a third sit in the 30 to 300 Mbps superfast band, and 10.2% fall below 10 Mbps. Below-USO postcodes are just 5.6%, suggesting most have some wired coverage even if not at modern speeds. This is a district in transition: partially upgraded, with pockets still operating on ageing infrastructure. The size (135 postcodes) means infrastructure gaps are not rare anomalies but affect dozens of households realistically. Remote workers should approach PH26 with caution; typical speeds will fall short of urban norms and gigabit-district standards.

PH26 broadband FAQs
What broadband speeds can I expect in PH26?
Highly variable. 61.8% reach gigabit; some sit in superfast (30 to 300 Mbps); 10.2% fall below 10 Mbps. Check your postcode, as performance ranges widely.
Is PH26 suitable for remote work?
Not reliably. With 38% below gigabit and 10% below 10 Mbps, this district lacks the connectivity consistency remote workers depend on. PH22 or PH23 are safer.
How many postcodes have serious connectivity issues?
About 10.2%, roughly 14 postcodes, sit below 10 Mbps. Another 5.6% lack USO coverage. Together, that is significant underservice for a 135-postcode area.
Why is gigabit penetration so low here?
Only 61.8% of postcodes reach gigabit speeds. This suggests infrastructure investment has been selective, with some areas upgraded and others left on older networks.
