GoFibre has switched on its full fiber network for more than 12,000 residents and businesses across Cupar, Cardenden and Burntisland.
Construction of GoFibre’s network has also begun in Newport and Tayport. When complete, this will open up full fibre broadband to around 3,400 additional premises.
GoFibre said its network will help to tackle the digital divide across Scotland. Once in place, speeds of up to 10Gbps will be available, transforming the ability for Fife residents and businesses to work effectively from home, operate multiple devices simultaneously with no lag and download complete box sets and large files in just seconds.
Neil Conaghan, chief executive officer, GoFibre, said, “It is with great pleasure that we announce that our full fibre broadband network is now live in Fife and available to the residents of Cupar, Cardenden and Burntisland while construction begins across Newport and Tayport.
“The expansion across Fife is a significant step forward in our aim to close the digital divide across rural areas with our network already bringing transformational speeds to residents and businesses.”
Cllr Altany Craik, spokesperson for finance, economy and strategic planning, Fife Council added, “We don’t underestimate the difference this will make to local residents. It’s good to see operators such as GoFibre deploy solutions in rural areas of Fife, that have otherwise proven difficult to get connected.
“I look forward to further investment and even better connectivity for all our communities across Fife.”
