How to apply

The Broadband Support Scheme is aimed at those individuals, businesses and 3rd sector organisations in rural communities that do not have access to basic broadband. The scheme will provide funding to cover the upfront costs of purchasing a broadband solution where existing providers have been unable to provide a service.

The scheme is technology neutral and we do not favour any particular type of technology, however examples of the types of broadband solutions that could be supported include:

• A broadband satellite connection installed for your home or business
• A community purchasing a ‘larger scale’ satellite connection which is distributed around the village by a small wireless network
• A wireless network being delivered by a service provider across a community
• A community purchasing a next generation broadband service such as Fibre
  to the Cabinet (FTTC)

The scheme will allow individuals and businesses to discuss options with a range of service providers to provide a solution that works best for your needs.
