Could you be going faster online? #CheckandOrder
More than 230 towns and villages across the Highlands and Islands can now access fibre optic broadband, thanks to the Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband project.
You can check here what's available to you. If you can get it you need to order it from your Internet Service Provider. Fibre based broadband is entirely separate from current ‘ADSL’ services, so you won’t just be automatically upgraded.

Roll-out into 2017
Region wide overview
For a region wide overview see the map of exchange areas where the project will be working during the three years of the project. The current contract won't reach everyone in these areas - but we will bring coverage to as many homes and businesses in rural towns and villages as we can.

Community Broadband Scotland
The Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme's aim is to bring next generation broadband to 95% of premises in Scotland by the end of 2017. To help those communities unlikely to be reached, the Scottish Government has created Community Broadband Scotland (CBS). CBS is working with areas which won't be reached by the fibre roll-out and who are developing a community owned broadband network.
