Openreach's Full Fibre roadshow coming to Glasgow
Glaswegians are invited to get up to speed with ultrafast Full Fibre broadband – courtesy of Openreach’s new digital roadshow.
The roadshow will be at St Andrews Crescent (G41 5SH) between 10am-noon and Cedar Court (G20 7NT) from 1-3pm on Thursday, October 17.
Openreach’s specially adapted vehicle is visiting towns and villages across the country during October, sharing information with the public on the fastest, most reliable technology delivering broadband to thousands of homes and businesses across Scotland.
More than 195,000 Glasgow properties already have access to Openreach’s ultrafast Full Fibre network, including over 80,000 flats and apartments.
However, just 27 per cent of Glaswegians who could upgrade to ultrafast broadband have done so, meaning thousands are missing out on more reliable, resilient and future-proof connectivity, with fewer faults; more predictable speeds; and enough capacity to easily meet growing data demands.
Whether it’s streaming in your living room, video calls with family, banking or customer engagement for businesses, ultrafast Full Fibre boosts every online experience by providing the UK’s most reliable broadband*.
The once-in-a-lifetime upgrade means people can connect multiple devices at gigabit-capable speeds and businesses can trade and operate smoothly online, with much less buffering or slowdown at busy times.
Stephen Chambers, Openreach Regional Engagement Manager, said: “We’re excited to bring our digital roadshow to Glasgow to talk about our ultrafast Full Fibre broadband, how it works and what it offers.
“It’s important to remember that upgrades don’t happen automatically. People need to contact, and place orders through, their broadband service provider to take advantage.
“Our engineering build continues across Glasgow and we’re determined to deliver a great service to local residents, helping people to work from home easily and build connections and opportunities in their communities. This network’s also future-proof so it’ll work for decades, no matter how much bandwidth we need.”
The Openreach website has more detail on the benefits of Full Fibre, and users can check their postcode and register for updates on fibre availability as the rollout continues.
