BT Broadband is currently in the midst of implementing their 2.5bn broadband roll-out that will bring superfast broadband connections to two-thirds of the UK.

Another area to benefit is Blairgowrie, where nearly 4800 homes and establishments are now connected to high-speed connections.

Aside from Blairgowrie, BT revealed that Crieff and Kinross will be among twenty-one communities that are slated to receive the broadband boost.

BT will me making use of its copper lines to deliver their next-generation broadband service.

With the completion of the upgrade, Blairgowrie will be able to get access to improved services with speeds of up to 20Mbps.

This is almost twice as fast as the connections that the users in the area are enjoying right now.

Brendan Dick, director of BT Scotland, said: The rapid roll-out of faster broadband continues to reach more communities in Perthshire.

This major investment is playing a vital role in the area’s future prosperity.

The technology is changing for the better the way we live and work, helping businesses work more efficiently and flexibly and find new markets.

He added: But there is still much work to be done and we want to work with the public sector to find solutions for even the most challenging locations.

BT’s technology is already available in more than 170 Scottish communities, including Perth, where 18,300 homes and businesses now benefit from the upgraded network.
