Response

Information relating to the rollout of the Scottish Government's R100 contracts, including latest coverage figures, is available on our website at Data insights | Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband.

Our online checker at www.scotlandsuperfast.com remains the best way to track the most up-to-date connectivity status for individual premises, including the most recent plans and indicative timescales for R100 contract build, as well as eligibility for the R100 Scottish Broadband Voucher Scheme (R100 SBVS).

R100 contract build in the Fife local authority area is currently scheduled to conclude during 2026. The majority of properties in the Perth & Kinross local authority area are also currently scheduled to be completed during 2026, with the remainder due to be completed during 2028.
