The \u00a3410 million Digital Scotland<\/a> project has so far helped to make BT<\/a>’s “high-speed fibre broadband<\/em>” (FTTC<\/a>\/P) network available to an additional 115,000 premises and this week the next batch of upgrade areas have been confirmed, including for the remote Highlands and Islands region.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a quick recap, the project is actually made up of two halves, with one focusing upon the “Highlands and Islands<\/em>” region and the other working to connect the “Rest of Scotland<\/em>“. Overall the scheme aims to roll-out to cover 85% of Scottish premises by the end of March 2016 and 95% by the end of 2017\/18 (reaching an additional 750,000 premises by completion).<\/p>\n

However the coverage target for the Highland and Islands<\/a> (HIE) region alone is still just 84% by the end of 2016.<\/p>\n

Digital Scotland’s Phase 1 Contract Funding<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Highlands and Islands (\u00a3145.8m):<\/strong>
\n\u2022 \u00a3126.4m from public bodies (Scottish Government<\/a>, Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> [\u00a350.83m], Highland and Islands Enterprise and all seven local authorities in the project area)
\n\u2022 \u00a319.4m from BT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Rest of Scotland (\u00a3264m):<\/strong>
\n\u2022 \u00a3157m from public sources (Scottish Government<\/a>, ERDF, Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> [\u00a350m], and all 27 local authorities that form part of the Rest of Scotland Project area)
\n\u2022 \u00a3106.7m from BT<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Broadly speaking Scotland as a whole seems to be roughly on course to reach the initial goal of 85% coverage (details<\/a>) and this appears to reflect the coverage of a superfast broadband (24Mbps+<\/strong>) network, although if defined as 30Mbps+ then it’s possible they may fall just a smidgen short by the end of March 2016 (arguably within the margin of error).<\/p>\n

However the deployment is continuing and we’ve this week been given a rough idea of which will be the next areas in the HIE region to benefit; this work will begin over the next 6 months. As usual the following list tends to reflect new areas, although BTOpenreach will also be doing some infill to expand coverage in locations where FTTC<\/a>\/P is already partly present.<\/p>\n

Next HIE Areas Where Work is Starting
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Argyll and Bute<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aros, Inveraray, Kilmartin, Port Ellen, Strachur, Tayvallich<\/p>\n

Arran and Cumbrae<\/strong><\/p>\n

Millport, Pirnmill, Sliddery<\/p>\n

Highland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ardvasar, Arisaig, Broadford, Dunvegan, Edinbane, Fort Augustus, Isle Ornsay, Kyle, Poolewe, Raasay, Salen, Scourie, Uig, Portree<\/p>\n

Moray<\/strong><\/p>\n

Glenlivet<\/p>\n

Shetland Islands<\/strong><\/p>\n

Symbister<\/p>\n

Outer Hebrides<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benbecula, Garrabost<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Isle of Skye<\/strong> (reflected under ‘Highland’ above) will also see further benefit, with another 3,000 premises<\/strong> set to be covered and the first street cabinet is already live for the Kiltragleann estate in Portree. A new cabinet has also been built in Kyleakin and will go live after testing. More coverage is also coming on the mainland at Kyle of Lochalsh (reaching 400+ additional premises).<\/p>\n

Similarly the project has already helped to reach 6,000 additional premises on the remote Shetland Islands<\/strong> and Symbister will be the next to benefit (expected to be ready by Summer 2016). The new network has also been enabled for large parts of Hamnavoe, Lerwick, Cunningsburgh, Sandwick, Scalloway, Sumburgh and Weisdale.<\/p>\n

Stuart Robertson, HIE’s Director of Digital, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s great to see the fibre cabinets coming through in more and more locations across the region. We are seeing increasingly smaller communities drawn in and are tackling some challenging geographies to reach people. Most recent places to see coverage include Weisdale in Shetland which now boasts the UK\u2019s most northerly cabs, Helmsdale in Sutherland, and the first locations in Arran and Millport.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Liz Mallinson, BT<\/a> Scotland\u2019s Fibre Broadband Director, added:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re excited to be bringing fibre technology to more places in the Highlands and Islands, especially as it involves overcoming the technical challenge in the shape of EO lines.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also urging local people to check if they\u2019re among the thousands who can already get high speed services.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s worth pointing out, as Mallinson hints above, that a lot of the hard work involved with this next deployment phase will be focused upon tackling the dreaded Exchange Only Lines<\/strong> (EOL), which are pure copper lines that run directly from your home to the local telephone exchange. Unfortunately it requires a complex and expensive network rearrangement in order to install FTTC<\/a> \/ street cabinets on such lines, but it’s good to see that so many are finally being tackled.<\/p>\n

Sadly Openreach<\/a>’s deployment won’t reach 100% of premises in all of the listed areas, although future phases often involve infill and that requires them to return in order to further extend beyond the existing coverage.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 18th Feb 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Somehow this one slipped under our radar, but the ‘Rest of Scotland’ part of the project also announced the next 28 new telephone exchange areas that would benefit from the project.<\/p>\n
