How many properties are still to be connected in Dumfries and Galloway under the R100 programme.

The Scottish Government’s Reaching 100% (R100) programme is being delivered through three key strands of activity – the over £600 million R100 contracts (North, Central and South), the R100 Scottish Broadband Voucher Scheme (R100 SBVS) and continued commercial coverage which includes newly emerging technologies such as Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connections.
As a result, all homes and businesses in Scotland should now be able to access a minimum of a superfast broadband connection today.
As at 30 April 2024, around 3,890 premises were still expected to be connected through the R100 South contract in the Dumfries and Galloway local authority area. The R100 South contract remains on track to complete build in 2025.
As the R100 SBVS is a demand-led scheme, it is up to eligible property owners or residents to decide whether or not to secure a connection in this way. As a result, it is not possible to say how many properties will ultimately be connected through the R100 SBVS in Dumfries and Galloway.
