feedback! Every day we hear inspiring new stories about how fibre broadband
is transforming homes and businesses. With the rollout continuing across the
country, and hundreds of new premises being enabled every week, check our
interactive map to see whether you can order it yet.

The Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband mobile
showcase was a real hit with the children at St.
Teresa's Primary School in Newarthill when it visited
the school recently. Around 90 children aged between
8-10 years were introduced to the story behind fibre
broadband and were able to see and touch fibre optic –
many were quite amazed by how thin and lightweight it
is! The mobile showcase van is the only one of its kind
in the world and continues to create a stir wherever it
Spreading the word at the Ideal Home Show
Scotland
This year’s event took place from 27th-30th May at the
SECC Glasgow and was the biggest show ever, with
over 20,000 square metres of exhibits. The Digital
Scotland Superfast Broadband team were there in
force and this was a great opportunity to meet
thousands of people, tell them how we are rolling out
high speed fibre broadband across Scotland, and
explain how it will transform the way we live, work and
play. Visitors to the stand also loved our special
competition – offering the chance to win an Apple TV on each day of the show!
