Basic Broadband with Deeside Communications offers you 10Mb/s download. 2.5Mb/s upload with no data cap. This service is available with free installation only in places where Connecting Cheshire or Superfast Cymru determines you will not get more than 2Mb/s download on the Openreach Network. Ideally suited to homes using multiple streams of Amazon, Netflix, BBC iPlayer etc.
As part of central government’s 2015 commitment to giving access of at least 2Mb/s download speed to every premises in the UK, Connecting Cheshire or Superfast Cymru, in conjunction with Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK), is making available the option of a subsidised broadband connection for eligible premises.
The Basic Broadband Subsidy Scheme provides support towards the cost of the installation of a broadband connection so that a basic broadband service can be purchased for a first year cost of no more than £400 (taking account of any up-front costs and the 12 month service charges). The scheme can also be used to access more expensive packages with higher speeds. You will only be eligible if your premises has access to download speeds of less than 2Mb/s.
Before applying, please read the relevant Scheme Guide : Connecting Cheshire Scheme Guide | Superfast Cymru Scheme Guide
If you think you are eligible, you can apply for a Subsidy Code, which will enable you to order a subsidised broadband service from any of the service providers that are part of the scheme.
