Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme
As part of their Project Gigabit connectivity programme, the Government is providing up to £210 million worth of voucher funding as immediate help for people experiencing slow broadband speeds in rural areas.
The Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme focuses on helping specific eligible people and communities to upgrade their broadband connection. It runs in areas where premises will not be covered by Project Gigabit contracts.
Under the scheme, eligible homes and businesses can apply for up to £4,500 to cover the costs of a gigabit-capable connection.
