Community Broadband Scotland 

Community Broadband Scotland is a new £5 million initiative to help kick-start community-led broadband projects in rural communities.

Many rural communities are unable to get the broadband coverage or speeds they need to fully benefit from being online.  If you receive a speed of less than 2 Mbps Community Broadband Scotland may be able to help you bring improved broadband to your community.

Community Broadband Scotland has been set up to work with communities who are currently receiving speeds of less than 2Mbps, but that speed is just a cut off point for deciding which communities can be covered and there is no cap to stop projects from achieving speeds greater than that.

Community Broadband Scotland will work with each community project on an individual basis and there is no set limit on the speeds that can be achieved within a Community Broadband Scotland project.
