Broadband on the Scottish canals

THE internet company Highland Wi-Fi have rolled out Broadband along all the navigable Scottish canals.

The service is now available at sites along the Caledonian, Crinan, Forth & Clyde and Union Canals, with boaters and towpath users now able to access what is described as the UK's fastest public Wi-Fi network, Alan Tilbury tells us.

Ailsa Andrews, Customer Relations Manager at Scottish Canals, enthused:

"We're delighted that Highland Wi-Fi has brought their fantastic service to the waterways. The new fast and reliable internet service will make a real difference to the customer experience on the canals.

"Whether you're travelling by boot, boat or bike, Scotland's canals have an incredible amount to offer. Now, no matter if you've just finished a hard day's paddle on the Great Glen Canoe Trail or have moored up after a trip on the world's only rotating boat lift you can log in and surf the web amidst the spectacular scenery of Scotland's canals."

The new sites complement Highland Wi-Fi's existing hotspots throughout Scotland and offer speeds of up to 100mb per second. Access is available via a range of payment options, with visitors able to pay for their internet fix by the hour, weekly or even yearly.
