Alternative ISP Highland Broadband<\/a> (Lothian Broadband), which is building a 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a> \/ XGS-PON) network across rural parts of the Scottish Highlands, has confirmed that they’ve worked with network partner ADTRAN to cover the Caithness village of Halkirk.<\/p>\n

The community, which is home to a population of almost 1,000, previously didn’t have access to any gigabit-capable broadband networks, until Highland Broadband<\/a> completed the extension of its network into the area.<\/p>\n

According to the announcement, locals originally only had access to super slow speeds of 2.8Mbps. But so far as we can tell most of the local premises could already access speeds of much faster than that via Openreach<\/a>’s 40-80Mbps capable FTTC<\/a> (VDSL2<\/a>) network.<\/p>\n

Colin Woodward, MD of Highland Broadband<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAt Highland Broadband, we\u2019re committed to delivering world-class connectivity to Scotland\u2019s furthest away communities. Halkirk\u2019s transformation proves that no town is too small or too far away to benefit from full-fiber broadband. Leveraging Adtran’s technology and the support of its team, we\u2019ve built a network that provides Gigabit speeds and ensures long-term, high-quality internet access.<\/p>\n

This deployment expands opportunities for residents and businesses, enabling education, commerce and digital services that were previously out of reach. It demonstrates that high-speed fiber can succeed even in the most challenging locations, setting a blueprint for future rural broadband expansion.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Residential customers of the service can expect to pay from \u00a334.99 per month (discounted to \u00a329.99) for an unlimited 100Mbps (symmetric) service on a 24-month term, which rises up to \u00a389.99 (discounted to \u00a354.99) for their top 2Gbps tier! Various phone, pay TV and mesh WiFi<\/a> solutions can also be added at an extra cost.<\/p>\n

The local village deployment features Adtran\u2019s 631 ONTs for connectivity, along with 8733 Wi-Fi 7 residential gateways that provide whole-home coverage. HB also harnesses Adtran’s AI-driven insights from Mosaic One, which allows them to remotely monitor and optimize network performance, reducing costly truck rolls.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The operator is being supported by an investment of around \u00a360m from a mix of shareholders, including the Scottish National Investment Bank<\/a> (\u00a350m of the total) and originally aimed to pass 100,000 premises<\/strong> by the end of 2024 (we’re unsure how far they’ve got).<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
