GoFibre Begin FTTP Broadband Rollout in 3 East Lothian Towns

Broadband ISP GoFibre (BorderLink), which recently partnered up with wireless ISP Marykirk.com (here), has today announced that they’ve begun work to extend their new 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network across three towns – Haddington, Dunbar and North Berwick – in the East Lothian area of Scotland.

GoFibre originally began constructing their new full fibre network in June 2021 and at the time they expected to cover 10,000 premises in the Angus and South Aberdeenshire area, with 1,500 homes in areas surrounding the town of Montrose being one of their most recent projects. Services in Kelso and Coldstream have also gone live.

By comparison, today’s announcement is expected to add approximately 12,000 additional premises across the three commuter towns of Haddington, Dunbar and North Berwick, with construction expected to be completed by the end of this summer.

Alex Cacciamani, GoFibre’s CEO, said:

“The initial response we have had from all three communities has been fantastic, accelerating our plans to provide the digital infrastructure they need, both now and in the future.

As we construct our transformative full fibre network, we would like to thank everyone for their ongoing patience during the construction phase and we look forward to them enjoying the benefits for themselves.”

Customers of the service tend to pay from £36 per month for a 100Mbps package on a 24-month term with an included wireless router, which rises to £69 per month for their top 1000Mbps plan. The latter also comes with a bonus Wi-Fi extender (this can optionally be taken on other plans for just £5 per month extra).
