Scotland gets fibre from Giganet

ISP Giganet is pushing its high-fibre options on the Scots.

The company said that there is a surge in demand for faster, more reliable broadband, almost 360,000 homes in Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Renfrewshire, Stirling, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.

It is offering to plant a tree for every new customer and is giving three months worth of free service to encourage the thrifty.

Tanya Thorne, Chief Marketing Officer at Giganet, said: “We take topics such as the climate emergency seriously, and we act. Doing the right thing for our planet is something we are passionate about. Through our partnership with Ecologi, each new Scottish customer will contribute to supporting local reforestation in the United Kingdom, with schemes in Ayrshire and Mull, adding further trees to our 22,000+ strong forest.”

Giganet’s full fibre will allow households to stream data-intensive video like 4K films, conference call on teams without glitches, get immersed in multiplayer gaming without the lag, and effortlessly support multiple devices being used at the same time.

Scotland still lagging behind the UK by almost five per cent in the full fibre broadband rollout race and less than 40 per cent of premises in Scotland can currently connect to it.

Thorne said: “We pride ourselves in putting the customer first; offering excellent customer service, honest and transparent pricing, and flexible packages suited to all. With the cost of living rising and household budgets being squeezed across the UK, we are delighted to be offering our new Scottish customers 3 months free on a 12-month contract with no exit fees.

“Our partnership with CityFibre already allows us to offer services to Scottish businesses and I am delighted that our award-winning services are now available to Scottish homes. By combining the best standards in customer services with a robust full fibre network, we can guarantee homes in towns and cities across Scotland can now experience the holy grail in connectivity – high speed and incredible reliability”.
