What’s different about full-fibre broadband?
Eye-wateringly fast
Full-fibre broadband is the speed demon of the internet world – it’s on a whole new level that needs to be seen to be believed!
Unlike old-school slow broadband with sluggish copper cables that play hard to get, our gigabit capable broadband brings lightning-fast speeds right to your doorstep.
It’s like the Usain Bolt of the internet – there’s no slowing it down!
Quickest broadband for uploading and downloading
Symmetrical upload and download speeds
Old-school broadband gives your downloads the priority, leaving video calls and file transfers in the dark.
Symmetrical speeds (where you get the same upload and download speed) from Highland Broadband mean you get the quickest broadband speed for streaming, gaming and downloading but also for uploading those important work and school files. And glitchy Zoom calls are a thing of the past!
Ultra-reliable
We’re relying more and more on our internet-connected devices, and we all know how annoying it can be when the connection drops.
With full fibre broadband, you’ll encounter much less interference from things like electromagnetic interference or the wild weather conditions in rural areas. Enjoy a consistently stable connection that keeps you and your family happily connected online!
“We’ve just had our new broadband installed by Joe and Bailey and we couldn’t be happier with the service…I’ve just ran a speed check, which gave a result of almost 800Mbps, whereas we were lucky to get 25Mbps with our old broadband! We would definitely recommend the whole service.”
Switch without stress
With One Touch Switch, we handle everything from breaking up with your current provider to getting you connected to our ultra-fast network. No hold music, no headaches, no hassle.
Plus with Switching Credit, we’ll cover up to 12 months of your contract with us when you sign up for one of our packages on a 24-month contract.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-ordering is easy – you can do it here. Simply input your address into our availability checker and you’ll be able to place your order online. Alternatively, you can call one of our friendly team on 0330 236 9900 who’ll be happy to place your order for you.
Don’t forget that we won’t take any payment until you’re connected to our service. Plus you’re covered by UK consumer rights laws which means you can cancel our service at any point during your 14-day cooling off period, which only starts after we’ve connected you.
It really is risk-free!
Through the Gigabit broadband voucher scheme. The Building Digital UK (BDUK) Project Gigabit Scheme, run by the UK government, allocates a voucher to each property to help pay for the network build and provides your FREE installation once you pledge to your chosen provider.
We collate these vouchers, and the combined value contributes to the cost of the build program.
BDUK don’t release funding until we’ve connected your home and you’ve confirmed you’re happy with our service – so you really do have nothing to lose!
We’re helping bridge the digital divide by bringing ultrafast full-fibre broadband to rural and semi-rural communities across Scotland.
Backed by the Scottish National Investment Bank, we’ve been building networks since 2015 in the Lothians, Perthshire, Stirlingshire, Fife and the Highlands.
We usually start to get things moving around 3 months before we start connecting homes and businesses.
Once we have enough demand you’ll see our friendly engineering teams in the local area. We work at around 150 meters per day so if we do have to dig, we won’t be there for long, and no longer than a couple of hours outside a home or business.
We’re bringing the fibre network straight to your house which, in many areas, you can’t currently get from another provider.
Using a fibre cable straight to your home means you get faster broadband than using copper wire. If you’re looking for reliable broadband that delivers high speed internet which can handle more devices in the home, then our gigabit broadband is perfect for you.
You’ll even be able to receive speeds of over 2,000Mbps from the fastest broadband network in the UK.
City speeds for country living.
You can see our current packages here – we offer symmetric (same upload and download speeds) 150Mbps, 500Mbps, 1,000Mbps and 5,000Mbps packages, as well as digital calls and Whole Home WiFi Guarantee.
Don’t let that stop you! Building new fibre networks takes time, and there’s a chance you’ll be at the end of your contract by the time your property is ready for connection.
If you’re still in contract when we’re ready to connect your home, we can help cover the costs of switching provider so you can switch without the stress. Find out more here.
Absolutely, we start reinstatement works, including backfilling and compacting trenches, alongside the installation process. This not only helps get the roads, paths and verges rapidly back to normal, but also protects the network and ensures public safety.
The reinstatement work is carried out in line with statutory regulations and in partnership with the local authority.
Superfast broadband means that you have fibre optic cable running to your nearest cabinet, and then copper cabling from there to your home (sometimes known as FTTC), with speeds of up to 60-80Mbps, although most people receive a lot less.
Full-fibre broadband is fibre optic cable to your door, brought in via a new cable, reliably delivering internet speed up to 2,000Mbps – that’s between 20 and 200 times faster!
Whether you live in a rural location or in more urban areas, full fibre is the most reliable broadband to keep your home happily connected.
