Highland Broadband say they will be connecting our area to Full Fibre. Would I have to go with them to have Full Fibre or can I go with EE?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

This is the wild world of telecoms deployment these days I'm afraid!
Multiple networks all with different providers available - some networks with lots of choice (such as the Openreach network) and others with few or even just a single provider.

Hello @gerry_4 ,
Welcome to the community,
If it is Open Reach that has requested Highland Broadband to set up full fibre in your area, then you can go with EE.

Highland Broadband are a regional provider who operate on their own network, so you would have to go with them directly for your service.
EE only provide their service over Openreach infrastructure.

What does BT Wholesale Broadband Availability Checker estimate for your phone number? Post the whole table and the line above it, blanking out your phone number. If it doesn't recognise your phone number or you don't have one, use the Address Checker.
