Government Gigabit Broadband Vouchers
If your home or business can’t currently access gigabit-capable broadband, you may be eligible for Government funding to help bring full fibre to your community.
What is the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme?
The Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme (GBVS) is part of the UK government’s Project Gigabit, helping residents and businesses improve their broadband connections in areas not currently planned for an upgrade.
The GBVS provides small grants (called vouchers) towards the cost of installing gigabit-capable broadband to groups of premises. Vouchers worth up to £4,500 per premises are available. As a registered supplier for the GBVS, Airband can apply for vouchers on your behalf.

How the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme works
We’ve made the process simple. Airband does the hard work. You simply confirm your details when asked.
Step 1. Preorder your broadband
Enter your postcode below to check whether your property may be eligible. If so, choose your package and preorder your broadband with us.
Step 2. We’ll apply for your voucher
Once you’ve placed your preorder, Airband will submit your voucher application and begin planning your fibre network.
Step 3. Confirm your voucher
You’ll receive two emails from the Government:
- the first asks you to confirm your voucher application
- the second asks you to confirm your Airband broadband service is live once you’ve been connected
These emails are essential to the process, so please respond promptly when you receive them.
Throughout your project, our Fibre Projects team will keep you updated on progress and answer any questions you may have.
If you’d like to speak to us, email [email protected].
