Iain Burnett and his team of award winning chocolatiers work in rural Perthshire and have discovered the direct benefits of upgrading to fibre broadband and the perks that their visitors have received as a result are incredible.

Customer service

“Upgrading to fibre broadband has enabled us to easily and effectively add and remove content to our website without hassle”

At the specially designed chocolate kitchen in the picturesque village of Grandtully, Perthshire, Iain Burnett’s team welcomes large numbers of visitors every week to feast their eyes upon delicious chocolate varieties and flavours.

As a result of upgrading to fibre broadband the shop is now able to offer visitors access to Wi-Fi facilities. Visitors to Perthshire come from all over the world and it has become a necessity for many of the local businesses to supply Wi-Fi facilities so that visitors can connect with people back home.

Iain says: “Before fibre broadband our internet was frequently slow and the speed rarely got above 6 Mbps. This meant that we could not offer our visitors with Wi-Fi access as it would affect the functionality of the business internet services."

“However, since signing up we have seen a significant improvement in our speed and we can now get over 60 Mbps! This is incredible and we can now do so much more online.”

Website content

"We are able to update the website now whenever we want which allows us to keep the content fresh"

The shop has been able to benefit from fibre broadband in terms of keeping their website up-to-date. The shop is dependent on their website to showcase the award winning chocolates, particularly to retain customers that purchase the chocolates online.

Upgrading to fibre broadband has given the chocolate kitchen the chance to upload large file images quickly and easily.

Iain says: “Upgrading to fibre broadband has enabled us to easily and effectively add and remove content to our website without hassle. We are able to update the website now whenever we want which allows us to keep the content fresh.”

“Our website www.highlandchocolatier.com is vital for our business and upgrading has helped us engage with our visitors easily."

“I would encourage everyone to check the Digital Scotland website www.scotlandsuperfast.com/where-when to find out if you can get the service. The difference it has made to me and my business has been incredible.”
