The Scottish Government reports that businesses north of the border are now starting to see the benefits from its £3.3 million project to extend broadband services and coverage. The project has succeeded in connecting 4000 households and businesses, which were previously unable to get ADSL due to their distance from the local telephone exchange(s):


The contract to extend affordable broadband services was awarded to Avanti Caledonian Broadband Ltd. The work has been taking place in recent months, with satellite broadband services being used to plug some of the gap. Credits to Thinkbroadband for spotting the news.
