Read on to learn more about the ins and outs of social broadband tariffs and the eligibility criteria you'll need to consider.
What is social tariff broadband?
Social tariff broadband is a specialised package with a discounted price which is geared towards low income individuals and households who are receiving benefits. The aim of social broadband is to lower the barrier of entry and ensure that high-speeds are open to all, treating them as a necessity rather than a privilege.
What are the benefits of social tariff broadband?
The main benefit of social tariff broadband is receiving a premium quality service at an accessible price. There's no compromise in quality when you opt for a social tariff - those on benefits are not receiving watered-down Wi-Fi, just the same no-nonsense full fibre at a lower price.
We also know that, in the modern world, it's not just about getting online, but having lag-free, reliable access. By providing high-speed broadband at an affordable price, social tariffs bridge the divide and empower individuals with everything they need to participate in the digital world.
