Broadband Voucher Scheme for Leeds – £3k Grants available – Simple process
What this means is:
- If you’re a “SME” (ie less than 250 employees) and based in an eligible postcode (of which there are lots) you are likely to be eligible
- There are around 3000 grants of £3000 to be claimed – so if you are a Leeds business, or know someone with a business in Leeds – please tell them.
- Grants are available for you to get your existing connection of 30Mb/s or more, or if you have at least 30Mb/s already, then the grants are available to allow you to double your connection speeds.
Because aql are based in Leeds, we have several tall buildings and also planning for wireless towers over the cities (The first of which will be in place by the end of this month). These towers allow us to deliver carrier-grade connectivity over the air. The advantage of this is low setup costs and low operating costs. Speeds are in the range of 30Mb/s to 1.5Gb/s.
Because everyone is different, we need you to let us know your postcode, so we can work out whether we can reach you wirelessly, or whether we need to install fibre. In most wireless cases, the £3k will cover the install costs and aql will cover the first year of connectivity for free. After the first year you can cancel, or pay the pre-agreed monthly fee (which will vary depending on the speed of your connection – from around £50/month upwards). But no obligation – we’re dedicated to getting Leeds online at unsurpassed speeds. We’ll also connect you into IXLeeds – the Leeds internet exchange – for blistering fast access to phone updates, streaming TV, social media.
Once you’re a business connected to aql, you can also take advantage of our secure datacentres in the heart of the city and back your data up to us too.. but first, let’s get you connected and make sure you’re happy with what we do.
Please get in touch with us and let us know your postcode, or call one of our specialists on 011 33 20 20 30 and they will guide you through the process. We’ll carry out a out a no-obligation survey and let you know your best options and guide you through the process to claim your connection voucher (don’t worry – it’s not a massive admin process – it’s possibly one of the most straightforward applications you’ll ever do!).
