Exciting news for Cumbernauld as residents can now access high-speed broadband, enhancing connectivity for homes and businesses alike
Cumbernauld: Openreach has just announced that homes and businesses can now tap into their new broadband service. This means thousands of folks can connect multiple devices at super-fast speeds, which is a game-changer for online businesses.
In total, over 76,000 properties in North Lanarkshire can now upgrade to this full-fibre network. It’s a big step forward for the area!
Robert Thorburn, the partnership director for Scotland at Openreach, mentioned that they’re working hard to upgrade as many places as possible. So, if you see more engineers and vans around, that’s why!
They’re trying to keep things smooth and limit any disruptions. Most of the time, they’ll use existing ducts and poles to avoid digging up the roads. But sometimes, new poles or underground cables might be necessary.
Across both North and South Lanarkshire, nearly 150,000 properties can now access this top-notch broadband. If you’re curious, check online to see if you can join the ultrafast lane!
For updates and to see when services are available, locals can visit openreach.co.uk/ultrafastfullfibre. Plus, full fibre is also coming to more areas like Greengairs, thanks to the Scottish Government’s efforts to ensure everyone gets connected.
