New economic research by Cebr shows Openreach’s digital upgrade could generate £4bn for Scottish economy by 2029 and help reverse depopulation, with half of Scottish residents now able to connect to broadband – thanks to £435m investment in the nation’s new network.
Gigaclear is celebrating a record year of growth, following connecting more than 130,000 customers to its network, with over 40,000 connected in 2024 alone.
This means that the altnet provider has increased its customer base by almost 50 percent in just one year, representing a period of significant growth for the company.
Nick Rawlings, Chief Marketing Officer, said: “Reaching the milestone of 130,000 customers is a huge achievement.
“We have continued to invest in building our network in hard-to-reach places adding a further 100,000 properties in 2024, which now means we have over 580,000 properties Ready for Service.”
