Virgin Media O2 has announced the roll out of 5G coverage across 37,000 postcodes in Scotland.

The coverage now spans 58 towns and cities – each with over 50 per cent population coverage, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Inverness and Perth.

The company said that in the past year it had added 4G network capacity to a further 33,000 Scottish postcodes.

The UK broadband business said that it is continuing to invest more than £10 billion to upgrade the UK and drive forward the Scottish Government’s plans for a “truly digital nation”.

“Virgin Media O2 is driving forward the Scottish Government’s aspiration to make the country a world-class digital nation, turning ambition into action through continued investment to expand our gigabit network, 4G upgrades and 5G rollout,” said Colin Rae, head of build for Scotland at Virgin Media O2. “We’re dedicated to bringing the best experience and seamless connectivity to all our customers across Scotland, from the remote Isle of Gigha and Scottish Highlands, to the major cities, as we continue to upgrade the UK.”
