Edinburgh benefits from excellent broadband coverage across nearly all neighbourhoods, with 86% full-fibre availability and Virgin Media’s cable network reaching 80% of premises. Most residential areas have strong infrastructure and genuine choice between multiple providers.
Leith, Morningside, and Corstorphine enjoy comprehensive FTTP coverage alongside Virgin Media cable and strong altnet competition, giving residents access to the full range of providers and speeds.
New Town and Old Town have excellent fibre coverage from Openreach and Virgin Media, though CityFibre’s independent network is less widespread in the historic centre.
Craigmillar and Niddrie show patchier FTTP availability compared to other areas, though coverage is improving and CityFibre has built infrastructure in parts of Craigmillar. Cramond and rural fringes may have fewer fibre options available, with some properties relying on older copper connections.

With 96% gigabit coverage, Edinburgh residents have access to some of the UK’s best broadband infrastructure. This impressive figure stems from overlapping networks: 86% can access full-fibre and 80% are covered by Virgin Media’s cable, meaning most homes have multiple gigabit-capable options.
The 50% altnet coverage is particularly significant, as independent providers competing with established names typically drives better pricing and customer service. Less than 1% of properties remain on basic copper connections, so the vast majority of house-hunters will find modern, fast broadband readily available regardless of neighbourhood.
