What's Happening with Broadband in Falkirk South?
Falkirk South is well ahead of the UK average for full fibre access. The area benefits from full fibre (FTTP) availability with average speeds around 876 Mbps, placing it comfortably above the national gigabit-capable average of 89% and FTTP coverage figure of 82% recorded in Spring 2026.
The biggest ongoing story for Scottish broadband is the Scottish Government's R100 (Reaching 100%) programme, backed by a £697 million commitment to extend FTTP to rural and hard-to-reach premises across Scotland via Openreach. As of June 2026, the programme has passed 100,000 premises with fibre infrastructure. While R100 activity is concentrated in rural areas where commercial rollout has not reached, the programme signals a wider push to close Scotland's digital divide.
Alternative network provider GoFibre is also expanding across Scotland, with active build programmes in the Scottish Borders, East Lothian and North East Scotland. GoFibre has not yet announced a rollout in the Falkirk area, but its broader Scottish expansion means competition in the region may increase in the coming years.
Across the UK, the PSTN copper network switch-off is scheduled for January 2027. BT Openreach is retiring the old analogue telephone network and replacing it with digital voice services running over broadband. If you or anyone in your household relies on a landline, alarm system, or telecare device connected to the copper network, now is the time to confirm your provider has a migration plan in place.
