Eight more Scottish locations including Stirling, Kirkcaldy and Gourock are set to benefit from a major broadband boost thanks to a £16.2 million investment by Openreach, the UK’s largest digital network provider used by the likes of BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone and Zen.
Another 54,000 homes and businesses are included in the latest ultrafast full fibre upgrade, with the new network to be built to the majority of premises in Stirling and Bridge of Allan, Kirkcaldy, Dysart and North Glenrothes in Fife, Carnoustie and Monifieth in Angus, and Gourock in Inverclyde.
It follows plans announced last year for nearly a million more Scottish homes and businesses to be given access to Openreach’s new gigabit-capable network, including 300,000 in rural and harder to serve areas.
