GoFibre - Scottish Borders

16/06/2026

This year, we teamed up with SPG Innovation & Technologies to bring full-fibre connectivity to the 2026 Borders Book Festival, making it the first year the festival has been able to live stream its events. 🎉

We also provided free Wi-Fi for attendees throughout the festival, helping everyone stay connected while enjoying the festivities.

The festival was a sell-out this year, with some incredible (and Scottish 😉) names featured in the schedule.

It was a pleasure to be involved in the Borders Book Festival, and we're excited to see that the 2027 dates have already been announced!📚

GoFibre is continuing its ’wicketly’-fast Project Gigabit full fibre rollout across the Scottish Borders and East Lothian, with well over 1,000 Project Gigabit customers now connected, bringing faster, more reliable broadband to communities across the region. 🎉

To celebrate the milestone, and to mark the first homes being connected through the build in Kelso, Build Assurance Engineer Thomas Beveridge visited Kelso Cricket-Club, where we have donated funds through our social impact programme. 🏏

One of the 1,000 new Borders customers is Chris Gilmore of Innerleithen, who is very happy with his new full fibre connection which he has had for almost five months. Kept busy as part of St Ronan’s Wells Support Group, Chris needs reliable broadband.

Chris said: “I’m busy every day with work for St Ronan’s Wells. With my old provider, if me and my neighbours working at home were on Teams calls at the same time or if I was watching TV at 5pm when everyone else was doing the same, it would be glitchy. The glitches have completely gone now."

“You judge companies on how they respond to things. When I contacted GoFibre with an issue, someone answered the phone immediately and ten minutes later it was all sorted out. That really is quite amazing"

As the Borders & East Lothian build continues to expand, more than 6,500 homes and businesses are now able to connect thanks to GoFibre’s government-backed network expansion. 🏠

With the network build now completed in Innerleithen and Oxton, work is taking place across Chirnside, Eyemouth and surrounding villages, Lauder, Denholm, Coldingham, St Abbs, and Jedburgh. Further expansion is taking place in the Kelso and Galashiels areas, with around 2,000 additional premises to be connected in each location.

⚠️Word seems to have got out!

Mini Digbys have been finding homes across the communities we serve, and they're heading out the door quicker than we expected 💚

If you're joining GoFibre through the link: https://gofibre.co.uk/plushie/, there's still a chance one could be making its way to your doorstep too, complete with a handwritten note from the team and all the charm you'd expect from a tiny furry mascot. Safe to say they've been pretty popular.

Once they're gone, they're gone, so check your postcode via the link in our bio and see if adoption is underway in your area 👀
