Question
To ask the Scottish Government by what date it expects that the R100 superfast broadband programme will be completed.
Answer
The R100 programme is expected to be completed by March 2028 when the final connections in the R100 North contract are delivered.
Around 99% of the connections being delivered through the R100 contracts are full-fibre, capable of delivering speeds of 1,000 Megabits per second (Mbps) – more than 30 times faster than our original superfast commitment.
