R100 broadband delays

An article about the delays in the R100 broadband rollout in Aberdeenshire.
Concerns have been raised about internet connections in Aberdeenshire communities after new figures show just 400 out of 16,000 homes in the area have been connected to superfast broadband through the R100 programme.

The R100 scheme was supposed to bring faster internet to 60,000 properties across the north and north-east by the end of 2021 but the completion date has now been pushed back by seven years to March 2028.

The R100 broadband program has informed the community council that at least 188 out of the approx 300 properties in Alvah and Forglen will be getting gigabit Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) broadband connection from the planned rollout in the north east Scotland area. However this will not be until 2025 or 2026. The remainder of the properties will be eligible for up to a £5000 subsidy towards costs in making their own broadband provisions.
