Alternative network operator and UK ISP Highland Broadband (Lothian Broadband), which is deploying a 10Gbp capable full fibre (FTTP) network across various rural parts of Scotland, has discounted their 1000Mbps (symmetric) speed package to just £34.99 per month on a 24-month term and reduced their 5Gbps tier to £49.99 (inc. £100 gift card).

Customers of the service can typically expect to receive unlimited usage, free installation, a Wi-Fi 6 wireless router (Wi-Fi 7 on their 5Gbps package), 24/7 network monitoring, a 28 day cooling off period, up to 12 months’ worth of Switching Credit to help you join while still under contract with your old ISP and the option to add Whole Home Wi-Fi for £10/month (free on their 5Gbps plan).

NOTE: Highland Broadband is supported by investments worth c.£110m from a mix of shareholders, including SNIB and Alpha Real Capital. The provider originally aimed to pass 100,000 premises by the end of 2024, but we haven’t had a progress update since.

Customers of their 1Gbps and 5Gbps packages also receive Dynamic Parental Controls and Advanced Cyber Security features, but take note that Highland Broadband also applies a pricing policy like the big ISPs that hikes your monthly prices by £4 in April each year. Otherwise, their packages currently start at £29.99 per month for speeds of 150Mbps.

The provider’s network can currently be found across around 150 rural Scottish towns and villages in parts of Argyll, Fife, the Highlands, Lothians, Moray and Stirlingshire.
