News that ultrafast broadband is coming to our rural communities has been warmly welcomed.
Eleven exchange areas in north and south Lanarkshire will be upgraded, with homes and businesses in Biggar, Coalburn, Carstairs, Douglas, Douglas Water, Lesmahagow, Forth, Carnwath and Strathaven set to benefit from the five-year feat of civil engineering.
The announcement expands on Openreach’s existing nationwide build plans, which already includes Lanark and Motherwell.
Robert Thorburn, Openreach Scotland’s strategic infrastructure director, said: “We’ll publish further location details and timescales on our website as detailed surveys and planning are completed.”
Across Lanarkshire, around 30,000 premises can already access full fibre broadband on the Openreach network. The company is also delivering the main build for the Scottish Government’s R100 programme.
