Spitfire supports government backed Gigabit Voucher Scheme

31 July 2018

Spitfire, the multi-award winning internet telephony service provider and ISP, is participating in the government backed Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme as a registered supplier. Under the terms of the scheme eligible SME businesses can receive a gigabit voucher worth up to £3,000 to upgrade their business broadband to a fast and reliable connection over gigabit capable infrastructure.

To supply gigabit speeds, a full fibre connection is required, rather than conventional copper wires. The government funded voucher of up to £3,000 will allow Spitfire to provide successful business applicants with the necessary fibre connection to their premises. Business voucher applicants can increase the value of the grant by applying with other businesses in their location.

Spitfire’s expertise in IP Engineering means it can offer access to the UK’s widest range of market leading, competitively priced gigabit circuits for fast internet access over the company’s own core network. Flexible bandwidths from 100Mbs up to 10Gbs, with symmetrical speeds and 100 percent target uptime, backed by service credits, are now available.

For Spitfire, Dominic Norton, Engineering Solutions Director stated, “The Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme is an excellent opportunity for SME customers to take advantage of the huge increases in data connectivity speed and reliability. With more and more businesses relying on the cloud for services, applications and data storage fast, resilient connectivity is essential. The scheme is supplier-led, so customers wanting to take advantage of this government funded voucher should contact us first as soon as possible.”
