More than 65,000 homes and businesses across Edinburgh can now access full fibre following progress by CityFibre.
CityFibre has invested £100m into digital transformation in Scottish capital city.
Building has been completed in Currie, Balerno, Granton, Leith, Duddingston, Mountcastle, Newhailles, Liberton, Moredun, Gracemount, Sighthill, South Gyle, Carricknowe, Silverknowes and Barnton areas.
The next areas earmarked for the rollout include Redford, Craiglockhart, Portobello, Wester Hailles, Kingsknowe, Corstorphine, Leith Links, Craigentinny, Piershill, Holyrood, Drylaw and Pilton.
Paul Wakefield, City Manager for Edinburgh, said: “Residents connecting to our Edinburgh network already have the choice of three ISPs - launch partner Vodafone, plus TalkTalk and Zen, with at least one more to be added before the summer.”
Construction is being delivered by CityFibre’s build partners Glenevin and IMS Scotland.
