Fact Sheet - Digital Connectivity

This document contains a factsheet on digital infrastructure in Cairngorms National Park. It highlights that good digital connectivity is essential for residents, businesses, and visitors, but providing it remains a challenge. While there are 28 telephone exchanges providing asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) broadband, the National Park lags behind the national average in terms of superfast broadband availability, particularly in rural areas like Grantown-on-Spey, Kingussie and Ballater. Furthermore, 4G "not spots" remain a problem, despite improvements in recent years, with some areas having no 4G coverage from the four main carriers. The Scottish Governments R100 Program aims to improve this.
