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.
LBN is deploying its full fibre network across the Black Isle as it aims to give access to ultrafast broadband to the entirety of the Highlands within the next three years.
The build will begin in February, with its network currently live from Evanton up to Helmsdale including Alness, Tain and Invergordon.
Gavin Rodgers, CEO of LBN, said: “While the Black Isle is the first new build of 2024, we will shortly announce further expansion plans which will further close the digital divide during 2024.”
“In terms of data usage our customers in the Highlands use twice the UK national average showing the level of appetite there is for gigabit capable digital connectivity.”
