Access Broadband Cymru Scheme
If you’re living in rural or semi-rural Wales, you might be struggling to get access to high speed internet. Infrastructure rollouts are slow, and priority is given to highly populated areas, leaving many towns and villages on the side-lines.
​
Fortunately, there’s good news.
​
The Access Broadband Cymru (ABC) grant scheme could be the helping hand you’ve been waiting for. This initiative from the Welsh Government offers funding to connect homes where traditional broadband services fall short.
At Astra Broadband, we bring 5G/4G LTE broadband to rural communities that have been overlooked. If you’re stuck with poor speeds or unreliable service, the ABC scheme can make a big difference and we’re ready and equipped to help you make the most of it.
​
So, what actually is the Access Broadband Cymru grant? It’s a grant that covers the hardware and installation costs of a new broadband system for homes currently getting less than 30mbps with their existing system. It doesn’t pay your monthly bills, but it does cover the upfront costs of an upgraded broadband system.
​
The scheme is open to both homes and businesses, so whether you’re trying to stream programmes faster with the family, or run your company more efficiently, we here at Astra Broadband are here for you. Even remote properties qualify, especially those out of reach of fibre networks.
​
Applying to the scheme is simple, visit the Welsh Government website, fill out a form, and submit a quote from your chosen broadband provider. Astra Broadband can give you a free, no-obligation quote that ticks the right boxes.
Better broadband is about more than speed. It improves how you work and connect. For your business, that means providing a smoother service. For families, it means less stress and more home activities.
​
If you’re struggling with getting the right internet service in Wales, there’s never been a better time to act. Check if you’re eligible for the Access Broadband Cymru Scheme and let Astra Broadband guide you through it. High speed broadband might be closer than you think.
