What if you can't get full fibre in Fraserburgh?

If full fibre isn't available at your address, there are several alternatives worth considering. Each has its own advantages and limitations depending on your location, signal and usage needs.

4G and 5G Home Broadband

Satellite Broadband (Starlink)

For rural properties around Fraserburgh and along the north-east coast, Starlink satellite broadband may be a viable option where fibre has not reached. The coastal location provides excellent sky visibility.

Is Starlink suitable for your property in Fraserburgh?

Starlink satellite broadband works differently from most other broadband options. Here's what you need to know:

  • 1

    No fibre cable needed. Satellite broadband doesn't require a fibre cable or phone line reaching your property.

  • 2

    Clear view of the sky. The Starlink dish needs an installation location with a clear view of the sky. Most rural properties in the Fraserburgh area should be suitable, but properties in deep valleys or surrounded by tall trees may need to check.

  • 3

    Speeds and performance vary. Starlink can deliver good download speeds, but actual performance depends on your location, network conditions and whether you have a clear view of the sky.

  • 4

    Equipment and monthly charges apply. You must confirm current availability, prices and terms on Starlink's website before making any decision.
