Delivering Superfast Connectivity Wherever You Are in Scotland

R100 is one of the most ambitious infrastructure programmes in Europe and is reaching some of the most rural parts of Scotland. 

The R100 Scottish Broadband Voucher Scheme (SBVS) was launched in September 2020. SBVS ensures that any home or business not in scope of the R100 contracts or planned commercial build can get access through a voucher worth up to £5,000.

The R100 Scottish Broadband Voucher Scheme (SBVS) ensures that every home and business in Scotland can access superfast broadband.

A subsidy of up to £5,000 is available to all eligible premises and covers all direct installation costs, which is carried out by a registered supplier.

Your property could be eligible if:

  1. Its current broadband connection speed is less than 30Mbps and;
  2. There are no plans for a superfast connection in the R100 contracts or commercial build.

Enter your postcode into the online address checker to find out if your home or business is eligible.
