A recent survey from bOnline has shown that many SMEs are unsure about the availability of altnet in their area, with confusion over the UK’s broadband roll-out strategy.
Almost 360,000 homes in Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Renfrewshire, Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh now have access to fibre services via Giganet.
This is part of the operator's plan to expand its offering across the CityFibre footprint. To mark the launch of its services, the altnet is pledging to plant a tree for every new Scottish customer.
CMO Tanya Thorne said: “We take topics such as the climate emergency very seriously, and moreover, we act.
“Through our partnership with Ecologi, each new Scottish customer will contribute to supporting local reforestation in the United Kingdom, with schemes in Ayrshire and Mull, adding further trees to our 22,000+ strong forest."
