Exchange Active Broadband

In 2005, 146 telephone exchanges were enabled with Exchange Activate broadband following a successful trial conducted with BT Openreach and Scotnet. This cut-down broadband solution is typically found in rural telephone exchanges where 'full platform' ADSL broadband was not considered commercially viable.

Exchange Activate is essentially a restricted version of conventional ADSL broadband where the maximum data transfer speed is limited to 512kb/s. The total number of customers able to connect per exchange is also limited, together with the number of providers able to offer service in the area.

In recent years, many of the original 146 exchanges have been upgraded to support faster services however there are still a number of EA enabled exchanges in Scotland. We have the ability to provide service on all remaining exchanges.
