LogieNet Broadband
Better Broadband in The Local Area
We are continuing to develop a network to bring better internet service to the local area.
With LogieNet we strive to improve internet connections to properties in our local area that are not able to receive a suitable service using the copper based traditional infrastructure.

Brief Outline of The Project
- A wireless link has been installed to Logie windfarm, from there line-of-sight wireless links connect further properties.
- The signal can be bounced on to other properties, if you cannot see the windfarm it may still be possible to connect to LogieNet.
- A small receiver will be mounted on your building (normally in a similar way to a TV aerial), from there a cable is run into the building to a router which provides the internet service.
- Prices from £40 per month for a standard contract with up to 30Mbps download & 15Mbps upload. Premium contracts with increased speeds & support & prioritised traffic available.
- Our technical partner Highland Wireless Ltd provides support to LogieNet customers, as well as operating networks elsewhere.
Benefits of LogieNet Broadband
- Speed around 10 times better than currently available via the copper network.
- Unlike a service from one of the national suppliers who operate large networks, there is no contention from outside our area - our service is not affected when the internet traffic increases in Forres and Elgin. There will be changes in speed when our network get busy but, because of the lower number of people using the service, this has far less of an effect.
- With higher speeds it is an option to drop your landline monthly fee and sign up to a cheaper VoIP service while keeping your local number.
- Professional support from a local small IT business, Highland Wireless Ltd
