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.

I joined the Brawband team only a week ago and so far so good.
We put the router in a different position from previous was initially concerned about the coverage but it has settled in nicely.
Son is delighted with new download speeds as router is closer.

Just great

Great customer service, answered questions very quickly. Very easy setup and quick to connect to Internet. New router delivered well before connection date, just had to plug it in and switch on as I already had cable to the house.

What I did not like was the fact the engineer who installed it didn't know what the extender was and just left it in the box and said that he knew nothing about it so left with an extension with no instructions I find this very poor service

Proper Scottish Broadband

Switched over from Vodafone on cityfibre, using my own router. Vodafone kept changing disconnection dates but my calls to Brawband to change the switchover were fast and they were happy to accommodate. On the day, voda disconnected at midnight, when I got home I out my brawband username and password into my router and it connected.

Connection has been up 100% of the time, speeds are always 900mbit both ways. On the 'basic' 900mbit package they used CG-NAT which means you share an IP address with others but this hasn't affected anything. It just means my IP address says I am in Glasgow but fortunately I actually "pop out" onto the internet in Edinburgh.

Had a referal so first month and a half have been free, and £30pm for these speeds is better than the rest.

Hi Nicola, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Today's games deserve a reliable internet connection, and we're glad to be providing that for you. We really have moved on from the days of mashing up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start, haven't we?!

Excellent no-nonsense broadband

From my short-list of CityFibre ISP's (available in the Edinburgh area), Brawband were the best in terms of support, equipment offering and price and have continued to meet my expectations.

Pre-sales technical queries by phone or email were answered promptly and effectively. On the odd occasion their phone line was busy, I was called back within a few minutes (unprompted). The supplied router and mesh device were delivered well ahead of the installation date, and performance is good and stable. Router set-up is flexible and allowed me to reserve specific device IP Addresses and configure VoIP phone parameters to my requirements.

The CityFibre team arrived on time and the install was completed quickly and without fuss. An account discrepancy I had with the first month's invoice was quickly rectified by Brawband.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Allan. Customer experience and satisfaction is so important to us, and we're so pleased to hear all your interactions with our team were so positive. Happy browsing!

Fats and responsive and at a great price.

Much better speeds and all for more than half the price of my previous Virgin Media Broadband. Easy set up and has been stable since install 2 weeks ago. Also a nice earner for credit as I recommend this to all my family as it becomes available.
Their replies to my presale queries where all answered within an hour, I am still waiting for a reply from some of the alternatives. This is an easy recommendation.

Although the guys were late getting started because of the previous job, they worked in the dark to achieve a successful outcome.
