Award-winning Broadband company puts down roots in Scotland

Giganet has given a commitment to plant a tree for every new Scottish customer

CITIES across Scotland can now get up to speed with consistently fast, reliable, full fibre-enabled services thanks to Giganet, one of the UK’s fastest growing internet service providers (ISP). 

With the surge in demand for faster, more reliable broadband, almost 360,000 homes in Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Renfrewshire, Stirling, Glasgow, and Edinburgh can now benefit from the ISP’s award-winning full fibre broadband. And now with 3 months free, this is a deal that will be welcome to many as the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite.

And its great news for environmentally conscious consumers, Giganet, often recognised for its bright yellow vans, is going green, with a commitment to plant a tree for every new Scottish customer.

Tanya Thorne, Chief Marketing Officer at Giganet, said: “We take topics such as the climate emergency very seriously, and moreover, 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.  

Full fibre networks use 100% fibre optic cables to carry data all the way from the exchange to the home, which differs from most digital infrastructure today. In fact, less than 40% of premises in Scotland can currently connect to it, with Scotland still lagging behind the UK by almost 5% in the full fibre broadband rollout race.

Speaking about Giganet launching to households in Scotland on the 17th of February, Thorne added: “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”. 

Last year, the ISP scooped the coveted award for Overall Fibre Provider of the Year at the 2022 Fibre Provider Awards.
