Broadband Coverage in Edinburgh South West
Scotland's Edinburgh South West constituency has 57,736 premises on record. Full-fibre reaches 87.3% of them, above-average for a UK seat, while gigabit-capable coverage (which also counts upgraded DOCSIS 3.1 cable) stands at 95.2%. Superfast (30 Mbit/s or more) covers 98.1% and ultrafast (300 Mbit/s or more) reaches 96.5%.
On connectivity for all households, barely any premises in Edinburgh South West, under 1%, miss the 10 Mbit/s Universal Service Obligation floor. Don't be surprised if Ofcom's ultrafast bar climbs in later reports, gigabit is quickly becoming standard.
Where these figures come from
Figures are drawn from Ofcom's Connected Nations 2025 report (July 2025, r01), which aggregates postcode-sector data to constituency level. They represent coverage availability from at least one network operator, not the proportion of households that have subscribed to a given speed tier, nor the typical or guaranteed speeds that customers actually receive. Nearby constituencies in Scotland with comparable full-fibre coverage are listed below.
