Broadband speeds in PH50
Share of PH50 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 42 postcodes in the district.
Superfast coverage hits 90.7%, a remarkable figure for Highland and well above typical rural baselines. Yet progress stops there: no ultrafast infrastructure exists, zero gigabit access, zero full fibre deployment. Every superfast postcode falls into the 30-300 Mbps band without premium tiers. Only 4% remain below 10 Mbps, a marginal tail. Just 1.2% miss the Universal Service Obligation threshold. This outward code has achieved consistent mid-range broadband across nearly all postcodes, a uniform service level rare in Highland. Households here can expect reliable speeds suitable for video calls and streaming without gigabit frills.
