Super Fast Broadband to Reach Aberdeen



BT plans to extend it's Fibre Broadband technology to Aberdeenshire by next year.


The company has announced plans for further expansion of its super-fast broadband services across Scotland.


This is the most recent phase, in an overall £2.5 billion fibre broadband programme.


BT's latest programme will take the number of Scottish homes and businesses on the new super-fast network to almost 836,000.

BT Scotland director Brendan Dick said: “This is a further major BT investment for Scotland. Our roll-out of fibre broadband is going from strength to strength.

“In these tough economic times, this exciting technology will give a big boost to local businesses and households.

“Sophisticated communications are the lifeblood of any successful community. Fibre broadband also has the potential to change the face of public services and revolutionise entertainment at home. Local families will be able to experience entertainment, shopping and a myriad of services delivered the super-fast way.”

BT’s local network business, Openreach, has a target of making super-fast broadband available to around two-thirds of UK homes and businesses by the end of 2014.
