The wider Perth and Kinross area has seen active Openreach investment in 2026. In May 2026, Openreach announced a new access agreement with Perth and Kinross Council to extend full fibre to 2,000 flats and apartments across 250 buildings, including in Perth, Crieff, Blairgowrie and Pitlochry. This brings the total number of homes and businesses with access to Openreach's full fibre network across Perth and Kinross to more than 33,000 (ISPreview, 27 May 2026).
At a national level, the Scottish Government's R100 programme passed the 100,000 premises milestone in June 2026, using its £697 million contract with Openreach to bring gigabit-capable full fibre to remote and rural areas across Scotland (ISPreview, 7 June 2026). GoFibre, an Edinburgh-based altnet, is also active in parts of rural Scotland, with its Project Gigabit contract covering 63,000 hard-to-reach premises in North East Scotland, though its current focus is the Scottish Borders and north-east rather than Tayside.
One thing to be aware of: the PSTN copper switch-off is scheduled for January 2027. If your broadband or landline still runs over old copper infrastructure, you will need to migrate to a fibre or digital voice service before that date. Most providers are contacting affected customers directly, but it is worth checking with your ISP now.
