Solway Communications Coverage Map
Click here for a full-screen map of the fast broadband coverage. You can use the buttons, your mouse or finger gestures to pan and zoom, and your browser back button to return to this page.
If your house or office is in the light green area, you can get fast internet from the local Solway Communications radio mast. If not, your best option is still BT.
