We all love free stuff
So what’s better than free ultrafast fibre to your door?
But what’s the catch, really, who pays?
Well let’s just say it’s not you – hoooraaahhhh!!!!
Then we’ll begin – to avoid drowsiness here’s the shortened version.
There are hundreds of thousands of residential & commercial properties in areas where getting great connectivity via fibre to the door is an age away, in some case over 5 years.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) have identified these and allocated a voucher to connect a property to a new gigabit capable network.
Now you don’t have to be an Einstein to understand that it’s expensive to replace the old copper network with brand new fibre – in most cases running into many thousands of pounds for each premises. The challenge for us is to gain enough interest from homes and businesses, and to collate enough of their vouchers, to reduce the net cost of the network to something that makes economic sense.
Clever eh? It’s a tried and tested method and it works.

Yep, guaranteed because if you aren’t happy, then we don’t get paid!

FAQs
If you are already in contract with your current broadband supplier, you can still register your interest with us, and we can still connect you. We can connect you before then too but you may need to pay your old provider an early termination charge to cancel your contract earlier, but we will help find the right solution to make this as painless as possible.
If you are voucher qualifying, the cost of installing into your home is paid for by The Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Funds have been set aside to help rural communities get connected to next generation technology without passing the expensive build costs onto you. Register here
This is a type of funding issued by Government to help deliver Gigabit capable broadband into areas that would otherwise take years to reach. Vouchers are allocated to a property and these are ‘ringfenced’ for the network provider to use. When you are connected, you will be asked to release the voucher and the funds are sent to the network provider to help pay for the build. Learn more.
During the earlier stages of registration, we’ll ask you to enter information needed to request a voucher on your behalf. Once it’s issued it will be held and ringfenced ready for use once we connect your property. Once you’re connected we’ll ask you to confirm your connected and happy everything is ok and the voucher will be processed and your free installation completed. Learn more.
By claiming a voucher, and asking DCMS to ringfence it for our use, you are telling us you want us to connect your property with free installation. Whilst you are not contractually committed, there would be little use in claiming a voucher if you did not want us to connect your home or business. It is only once we confirm the connection date are you committed to having a gigabit capable service from ourselves.
If you don’t use a voucher to claim free installation, you’ll be charged for a standard installation at the current rate at the time of install (please see our terms & conditions for more information).
Well it’s both yes and no. After this has been ringfenced it has to be issued to us within 12 months. However if it does expire, we can ask for it to be re-issued.
