Edinburgh-based UK alternative network operator GoFibre, which is deploying a new full fibre (FTTP) broadband network across rural parts of Scotland and Northern England, has revealed that over 1,000 “customers [are] now connected” to their recent roll-out across the coastal Scottish Borders town of Eyemouth (the town is home to a population of c.3,600).
Just to recap. GoFibre’s Project Gigabit contract for the Scottish Borders and East Lothian region, which was first announced in February 2025 (here), is worth £26.2m (public subsidy) and aims for their network coverage to reach a total of around 11,000 premises across hard-to-reach rural areas.
The network operator, which describes itself as being “Scotland’s fastest-growing broadband provider“, said their total build in the Scottish Borders area now has over 34,000 premises ready to connect to their network (this includes commercial builds).
