About Broadband in Bonnyrigg
Bonnyrigg is in City of Edinburgh. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 885 Mbps, well above the UK average of 69 Mbps. Most major providers cover the area, so there is a reasonable amount of competition on price.
Standard broadband runs over the copper phone network. Speeds depend on your distance from the telephone exchange and typically range from around 5 Mbps to 20 Mbps.
Superfast broadband (FTTC) uses a fibre optic cable to your street cabinet, then copper for the final stretch to your home. Most urban and suburban areas can get speeds of 35 to 80 Mbps.
Full fibre (FTTP) runs fibre optic cable all the way into your home. It is the fastest and most reliable option available, with speeds from 100 Mbps upwards.
What's Happening with Broadband in Bonnyrigg?
Bonnyrigg sits in a strong position for full fibre broadband. As a well-connected commuter town on the southern edge of Edinburgh, it falls within Openreach's commercial FTTP build area rather than the rural subsidy programmes, meaning the infrastructure rollout here has been driven by normal market investment rather than public funding. Typical headline speeds available reach around 885 Mbps, and gigabit-capable connections are accessible across most of the town.
Nationally, Ofcom's Spring 2026 data shows 82% of UK premises can now access full fibre (FTTP), with 89% able to access some form of gigabit-capable broadband. Scotland as a whole sits slightly behind that figure, with around 84% gigabit coverage and 75% FTTP coverage as of January 2026, according to ISPreview. Bonnyrigg's urban proximity to Edinburgh means local availability is likely ahead of the Scottish average.
The most significant Scotland broadband story of 2026 is the Scottish Government's £697m R100 programme, which passed 100,000 premises connected via Openreach in June 2026 (ISPreview, 7 June 2026). R100 focuses on remote rural areas including the Highlands, and the programme is contracted to reach 112,939 premises by March 2028. Bonnyrigg is not a target area for R100. The altnet GoFibre, which holds a separate Project Gigabit contract in Scotland, is active in the Scottish Borders, East Lothian, and North East Scotland, though its footprint does not currently extend into Midlothian or the Bonnyrigg area.
One deadline worth noting: the UK-wide PSTN copper phone network switch-off is scheduled for January 2027. Residents still on traditional landlines will need to migrate to a digital voice service before then. Most FTTP providers include a digital voice option, so those already on full fibre are well placed ahead of this change.
