<b>R100 and Super Fast Broadband Vouchers.</b><br>
The Scottish Government’s Reaching 100% (R100) programme ensures
that all premises in Scotland can access superfast broadband –
speeds of at least 30 Megabits per second. The £600m broadband
infrastructure programme includes the R100 contracts, which will see
over 3,318 homes and business in Orkney benefit from full fibre,
which is over 30 times faster than the original commitment.<br>
For those residents not in R100 contract or commercial build plans
the R100 Scottish Broadband Voucher Scheme offers a subsidy of up to
£5,000 to access a faster broadband solution, of which there are
around 940 eligible premises in Orkney.<br>
While there is no deadline for the vouchers, Orkney Islands Council
is keen to get the eligible homes and businesses that haven’t
claimed it to start investigating the possibilities of an improved
service, with a range of solutions available.<br>
