BrawBand full-fibre broadband

Broadband that’s braw, not blah.

BrawBand brings fast, reliable full-fibre broadband to homes and businesses across Scotland - with nae faff, fair prices and a proper Scottish service behind it.

Whether you’re working from home, streaming the latest boxset, gaming with pals, downloading in a hurry, scrolling on the sofa or keeping the whole household online at once, we’re here to help you stay brilliantly connected.

We’re not here to make broadband feel complicated. We’re here to make it simple: check your postcode, pick yer package, get connected, and enjoy the internet doing what it’s supposed to do.

Why go Braw?

Full-fibre speeds up to 900Mb
Built for real life, not just speed tests. From video calls and gaming to boxsets, smart homes and big downloads, BrawBand gives your household the connection it needs to keep up.

No faff. No nonsense.
Broadband should be easy. That’s why we keep our packages straightforward, our pricing clear, and our availability checker quick to use.

Pick yer package
Whether you need an everyday connection or a proper belter of a broadband package, you can choose the option that suits your home, your habits and your budget.

Helpful Scottish support
When you need a hand, you want to speak to people who know what they’re doing. Our team is here to help you get connected and stay connected.


Built for the way Scotland actually uses the internet.

Some households need broadband for working from home. Some need it for teenagers gaming upstairs while someone else streams downstairs. Some need it for video calls, music, smart TVs, online shopping, schoolwork, cloud backups and the occasional deep dive into cat videos.

Whatever your version of online life looks like, BrawBand is designed to keep things moving smoothly.

Sofa sessions?
Stream, scroll and browse without the dreaded buffering wheel making an appearance.

Home office hero?
Keep your video calls clearer, your files moving and your working day flowing.

Serious streamer or gamer?
Give your household the speed and reliability it needs when everyone’s online at the same time.


Full fibre means proper fibre.

Not all “fibre broadband” is created equal. Older fibre-to-the-cabinet connections still rely on copper for the final stretch to your home, and that copper can slow things down. Full fibre is different because the fibre connection runs directly to the property, helping deliver faster, more reliable broadband.

That means less waiting, less buffering, fewer “is the internet down?” moments, and more time actually enjoying being online.


As rare as spotting Nessie.

BrawBand Nessie animation

We like to say our downtime is as rare as spotting Nessie - practically a myth. But behind the humour is a serious point: reliable broadband matters. Whether it’s a work call, a movie night, an online game or a quick catch-up with pals, your connection should be something you can count on.

So if life’s too short for laggy broadband, spinning wheels and big-provider palaver, it might be time to go Braw.

Consistently reliable and fast broadband service

Fantastic service. Consistently fast and reliable broadband connection in a heavy internet use household. Never any issues, and any disruptions were communicated and swiftly rectified. Customer service was excellent with fast response to queries. Used this service for a few years until recently where we have moved to a location not covered. Highly recommend Brawband.

New installation

Excellent service provided throughout the changeover, which went smoothly workout any hitches.

The two queries I had after the changeover were dealt with quickly and efficiently, I would easily recommend Brawband to anybody looking to change their provider

As good as their word

All went as planned, with no break to my Internet connection. Everything appears to be working fine. Would have no problem recommending Brawband.
Only downside I had agreed 1touch change over with my last provider but Brawband didn't seem to know about this, so having problems with last provider

Sadly despite very polite and…

Sadly despite very polite and professional communication from Brawband, felt badly let down without any internet connection for a fortnight whilst Brawband / CityFibe / and 4th Utility made me - the customer - do all the running back and fore whilst they all hid behind regulation, GDPR and various other reasons why they couldn’t connect me. I made about 30 or so calls across all companies. They all put each other ahead of the customer and blamed third parties. The whole industry needs shaken up. No sense of shame or accountability for what they were prepared to put me through in terms of repeated calls to resolve the same issue over a two week period. It’s always someone else’s fault and these companies are obstructive and “no can do” in their approach. 5/5 for polite communication. 0/5 for taking accountability and seeing the job through. I expect any response to this will continue to show lack of accountability and blaming others for not resolving the issues.

Hi Iain,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced during this process.

While we are proud to deliver great communication to our customers, we recognise that this alone doesn’t resolve issues as complex as the one you encountered. The challenges in your case were compounded by industry regulations, including those set by Ofcom, which limit how much direct action we can take when working with other providers. Despite these constraints, our team dedicated considerable time and effort trying to resolve the matter for you.
Unfortunately, the coordination required between multiple parties led to delays that were beyond our direct control.

We completely understand how frustrating it is to feel caught in the middle, and we share your frustration about the broader industry challenges you mentioned. Please know that we remain committed to improving wherever possible within the limits of our role and responsibilities.

Your feedback is invaluable in helping us understand how situations like this impact our customers, and we will continue to advocate for clearer processes across the industry to minimise these frustrations in the future.

Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

Excellent value for money.

Just supplied what I expected. A good service at a very good price. Internet connection works. Everything set up on the days they said. No selling of extra products or packages.
Simple and plain and effective.
Thank you so much.

Excellent Service, 100% recommend.

Excellent communication throughout the onboarding process, delivery of kit was on time and I was well informed when it was coming etc. The service has been very good, there was an interruption during the recent story weather and connection was dropping out, for a period of 12 hours or so, during this time I received 4 emails to confirm there was an issue and what was happening and progress for a resolution and then confirmation when it was all back to normal and an explanation of what went wrong (power interruption due to bad weather) things will go wrong from time to time and sign of a good service is how the customer is communicated to throughout this time and Brawband did a brilliant job.

Constantly down and slow

Since getting Brawband the service has been down constantly - just looking at my emails its been an average of 3 (scheduled) times a month. No exaggeration - constant "urgent" maintenance. That's the times they let you know it'll be down. Speed drops regularly - getting about 3% of advertised at the moment. Should be glad it's working at all!

When I complained - They sent me a replacement router then charged for it.

Stay. Away.

Been with Brawband for over 3 years and they are STILL a breath of fresh air! Connection is rock solid, their supplied Wi-Fi router isn't the best BUT when I spoke to them, they supplied a Wi-Fi repeater which fixed the issue! Unlike other suppliers, you can also change router if you like. Only thing I would like to change is some sort of loyalty bonus.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. We were moving home & wanted to take Brawband with us. Brawband was so responsive to my queries & explained what to do so clearly. Installation was smooth & we were live really quickly.

Great customer service

I like that the service is local and has a personal service. I would have stayed with the company if I could have. The area I moved to doesn’t have City Fibre yet as it’s a new build. Recommend Brawband no issues with the service.

Efficient and friendly service

This was my first experience of having my own broadband. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They arrived promptly and worked efficiently and made sure I knew how to connect my laptop and mobile phone.
