If homes and businesses currently experience download broadband speeds of less than 2Mbps, you can be helped with access to a service that will offer speeds of at least 2Mpbs via a subsidised satellite or wireless broadband installation.
People affected may apply for a voucher code which will cover most of the cost of installation and commissioning of the broadband service, typically reducing it by £350. Please note that the applicant is then responsible for paying the monthly subscription for the service selected for a minimum period of 12 months.
The Better Broadband scheme is part of the Government’s commitment that every premise in the UK should be able to access broadband at ‘basic’ speeds of 2Mbps. The government is consulting with telecommunications providers on an obligation to provide broadband at minimum speeds of 10Mbps by 2020.
