A recent report from thinkbroadband has given a unique insight and the latest statistics on UK broadband rollout and revealed that FTTP is now available to over 75% of households across the UK, with Openreach leading the way with more than half of residents coverage – an increase in full fibre of 6% since last year.

GoFibre is celebrating connecting 1,000 Hawick residents, as build completes in the town with homes and businesses now benefitting from full fibre.
With 6,000 premises ready for connection in Hawick, the altnet provider now has over 22,000 premises also able to connect across the Scottish Borders in places like Galashiels, Kelso, Melrose, Selkirk, Hawick, Jedburgh, and Duns.
Throughout the build process in Hawick, GoFibre has committed to supporting local communities and grassroots sports, sponsoring important events like Melrose 7s as well as the Borders Girls’ Rugby club.
In July 2023, GoFibre launched the GoFurther Fund with the goal of supporting charities, community groups and other key build communities’ organisations, including providing £3,000 for the charity Escape Youth Services that offers a vital youth facility for local children in Primary 6 and older in and around Hawick with the mission of improving social inclusion, isolation and anxiety.
