Broadband speeds in PH36
Share of PH36 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 34 postcodes in the district.
This district struggles with infrastructure. Fewer than one postcode in four reaches gigabit; over half sit at superfast (30 to 300 Mbps), adequate but not modern; and 27.2% fall below 10 Mbps. That last figure, roughly 9 postcodes in severe digital exclusion, is among the highest in the batch. Below-USO coverage is 9.7%, an additional gap. The infrastructure here is dated or patchy. For a 34-postcode area, the concentration of underserved postcodes is problematic and material. Households considering PH36 should assume broadband constraints; remote workers should look elsewhere. The median performance here falls well below most of Highland.
