Broadband speeds in Eyemouth jumped by 57% in a single year as GoFibre’s new Full Fibre network arrived in the town. Median downloads climbed from 57.7Mbps in 2024 to 90.6Mbps in 2025, according to figures from the Fibredog UK Broadband Explorer.
The improvement has held. Eyemouth’s median speed stands at 89.1Mbps in 2026, still 54% higher than it was two years ago. Speed-test data cannot prove that one provider caused the increase, but the timing is difficult to ignore: GoFibre has now connected more than 1,000 homes and businesses in the town.
GoFibre operates its own network, giving residents an alternative to providers using Openreach. It advertises packages ranging from 150Mbps to 1Gbps, supplied with a Wi-Fi 6 router. Current promotional prices are based on 24-month contracts and rise by £3.50 each December, so the opening monthly figure isn’t the price you’ll pay throughout.

The improvement hasn’t reached everyone
The latest Fibredog evidence includes 475 qualifying download tests from 2026. Of those, 31% produced speeds below 30Mbps, while the slowest tenth came in at 28.7Mbps or less. That doesn’t mean faster broadband was unavailable at those addresses. It records what people actually received when they ran the test.

Choose a geographical area to populate the broadband overview
Once you have entered a UK postcode, town or city and selected Explore, this part of the tool, the broadband overview, will summarise the measured and reported broadband evidence for that geographical area.
It compares measured download and upload speeds, the real download range, tests below 30Mbps, latency, reported availability, changes over time, the size of the measurement evidence base and the broadband providers observed in the selected area.
Some will still be using older or cheaper packages, while Wi-Fi, routers, devices and home layout can all reduce the result. At the opposite end, Eyemouth’s fastest tenth recorded at least 195.5Mbps. The figures reveal a town moving forwards quickly, but with a considerable gap between its fastest and slowest connections.
Ofcom data says gigabit-capable broadband is available to 75.5% of premises in the selected area, although only 0.3% of qualifying tests reached gigabit-class speeds. That is not a GoFibre take-up figure. It shows that availability alone tells you very little about the package someone buys or the speed that eventually reaches their device.
