GoFibre was awarded a Project Gigabit contract for North East Scotland last summer with a contracted value of £105 million to deliver Gigabit capable broadband to 63,000 premises.
The altnet full fibre operator who has an existing network in North East England and Scotland has announced work starting in Stonehaven, St Cyrus, Laurencekirk, Auchenblae, Letham Angus and Longforgan after previously surveying the areas in January 2026.
The rollout will target the 63,000 premises that form the Project Gigabit contract but also additional premises will be built on a commercial basis thus delivering 100,000 premises in total.
The contract covers the Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen City, Angus, Dundee, Highland, Moray and Perth & Kinross local authority areas. The GoFibre network is already present in some 10,000 premises in Aberdeenshire and another 15,000 in Angus.
“We know how frustrating unreliable broadband can be, whether you’re trying to run a business, help your kids with homework or just stream a film without it buffering. This project is all about changing that.
As a company with its roots firmly in Scotland, we are incredibly proud to begin construction in the North East. We’re bringing faster speeds right to people’s front doors, and we can’t wait to see the difference it makes. It’s going to open up opportunities and make everyday life easier. Best of all, we’re doing it while creating jobs and investing in the communities we serve, because this is home for us too.“
Neil Conaghan, CEO of GoFibre
