The grants themselves are worth up to a maximum of <strong>\u00a330,000<\/strong> and this comes from a pot of \u00a32 million that has been allocated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> Group.<\/p>\n<p>Communities can also reduce their own contribution requirements by making use of government grants or local voucher schemes (e.g. the <strong>Better Broadband Subsidy Scheme<\/strong>). Some county councils have also setup special funds in order to help provide similar financial support to local communities.<\/p>\n<p>Today <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> has announced that the <strong>200th community<\/strong> to benefit from this is the rural village of <strong>Follifoot<\/strong> near Harrogate (North Yorkshire, England), which is home to around 580 people. Sadly we&#8217;ve not been provided with any information about the cost of this deployment, although the operator did rollout a new 76Mbps capable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> network to the area and 11 homes have since subscribed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Derek Richardson, Openreach&#8217;s Programme Director (Yorkshire), said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This small Yorkshire community has marked a major milestone in the success of a national scheme, which is bringing superfast broadband to some of the UK\u2019s most challenging locations. We know how important fast internet is to communities and are determined to make this exciting technology as widely available as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s streaming TV in the home, doing homework online or downloading large files in the office, superfast broadband makes doing anything online faster. With a choice of many broadband providers and the variety of services and prices they offer, the Openreach network provides real choice. It\u2019s great to know that this new internet connection is helping to improve the quality of life for these families.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d appeal to any community which isn\u2019t part of any current fibre plans to get in touch with us to see what we can do for them.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So far the vast majority of deployments under the CFP scheme have involved slower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> solutions, although around 10% did opt to go with the usually more expensive &#8220;<em>full fibre<\/em>&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> service. Of course not everybody will be happy with the idea of having to pay thousands of pounds in order for Openreach to upgrade the local broadband connectivity, which many would today regard as being nearly as important as water or electricity.<\/p>\n<p>The alternative for such communities is to wait and see how the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> programme plays out in its quest to reach 98% of UK premises with 24Mbps+ broadband by 2020.
