About Broadband in Coldside
Coldside is in Dundee City. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 882 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 Coldside?
Coldside sits within Dundee City and benefits from some of the best broadband infrastructure available in Scotland. Full fibre (FTTP) speeds of around 882 Mbps are available to homes and businesses in the area, putting Coldside well ahead of the UK national average of around 89% gigabit availability and 82% full fibre coverage recorded in Spring 2026.
This strong connectivity is partly the result of the Scottish Government's Reaching 100% (R100) programme, a £697 million investment to bring full fibre broadband to premises across Scotland via Openreach. By June 2026, the programme had connected over 100,000 premises across Scotland, with Dundee City among the urban areas benefiting from that infrastructure build.
At a national level, GoFibre is an altnet actively expanding full fibre infrastructure across Scotland, with coverage currently focused on the Scottish Borders, East Lothian, and parts of north-east Scotland. GoFibre has not yet announced a confirmed rollout into Dundee City or Coldside specifically, but their northward expansion is worth monitoring.
One deadline affecting every address in Coldside is the PSTN copper switch-off in January 2027. BT Openreach is retiring the old copper telephone network entirely by that date. If your landline or broadband currently runs over copper, you will need to migrate to a full fibre or digital voice service before then. Given the strong FTTP availability in this area, most households should have a straightforward upgrade path.
