The current aim is to roll-out related services to 95% of Scottish premises by the end of March 2018 (benefiting an additional 750,000 premises), although the target for the <strong>Highland and Islands<\/strong> region alone is just 84% by the end of 2016. Work is already under-way to develop a second contract that will further extend coverage.<\/p>\n<p>So far the overall project has already reached its first target on the road to 95% coverage by ensuring that 85% of homes and businesses in Scotland can access a &#8220;<em>fibre broadband<\/em>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>\/P) connection (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/03\/scotland-uk-reaches-85-percent-fibre-broadband-coverage-goal.html\">here<\/a>), while the latest update confirms that nearly <strong>580,000<\/strong> extra Scottish homes and businesses have already benefited from the deployment.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime today&#8217;s announcement unveils the next batch of telephone exchange areas that can expect an upgrade by this <strong>Autumn 2016<\/strong>. In particular this roll-out phase will be dedicated to tackling the dreaded <strong>Exchange Only Lines<\/strong> (EOL), which have no PCP street cabinet and thus require an expensive \/ time consuming network rearrangement in order to upgrade.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Brendan Dick, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> Scotland Director, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re pleased to be bringing fibre technology to more rural parts of the country as the Digital Scotland partnership continues on track. This is a challenging project, but we are making real progress.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also reminding local people to check if they\u2019re among the two million households and business premises in Scotland who can already get high speed services. There\u2019s lots of competition in the broadband market, and people may be pleasantly surprised to discover they could be surfing at much higher speeds at a similar cost to their current service.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve tried superfast broadband, you\u2019ll never look back.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some of the locations that are set to benefit from this latest phase include smaller villages from Drumlithie in Aberdeenshire to Bonchester Bridge in the Scottish Borders.
