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.
GoFibre is in the final planning stages for its network rollout in Melrose, making it likely that construction will begin in the coming weeks across the town.
The network would connect more than 1,400 residents and businesses in the Scottish Borders to fibre.
“Our planning stage, ahead of any construction work commencing, has been going very well and so we intend to begin our transformative works to connect Melrose to the best digital connectivity available in September,” said Alex Cacciamani, GoFibre’s CEO.
“It’s vitally important for our shared future that we eliminate the digital divide across Scotland.”
