Virgin Media O2 has ramped up its mobile network in Scotland, boosting 4G and 5G services across 13,000 postcodes. As part of a £700 million upgrade plan, the provider targets better coverage in urban areas and tourist spots.
In a quest to bring hyper-fast broadband to Scotland’s most rural regions, the Scottish government launched the ambitious R100 (Reaching 100%) project. Backed with sizable financing, R100 aims to boost connectivity for over 180,000 premises. However, stumbling blocks including bidding disputes and slow deployment have pushed timelines back, igniting debates over the project’s efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
