The Orkney mainland and the island of Westray enjoy efficient internet provision with over 75% of premises now connected to superfast broadband.
Other areas are serviced by a standard 8Mgb connection with faster speeds available via satellite and wireless internet providers.
A considerable extension to the fibre optic broadband network is planned as part of the Scottish Government’s R100 scheme which aims to bring 100% coverage across Scotland by 2021.
