The GBVS usually offers grants worth <strong>up to \u00a34,500<\/strong> to help premises get a gigabit-capable broadband (1Gbps) ISP service installed, which is available to areas with speeds of \u201c<em>less than 100Mbps<\/em>\u201d \u2013 assuming there are also no near-term plans for a gigabit deployment in the same area (either via private investment or state-aid). This previously only offered vouchers to rural areas, but it was recently expanded to include urban locations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/03\/gigabit-broadband-voucher-scheme-expanded-to-uk-urban-areas.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The GBVS is currently being supported by an investment of \u00a3210m via the wider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/03\/gov-starts-gbp5bn-uk-gigabit-broadband-and-voucher-schemes.html\"><strong>\u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> programme.<\/div>\n<p>However, the GBVS has been operating on a low level of UK availability for the past couple of years (i.e. it\u2019s not currently available to most counties), which is partly to ensure that it avoids conflicting (i.e. duplicating \/ wasting public money) with Project Gigabit\u2019s larger <strong>Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy<\/strong> (GIS) programme (i.e. the big build contracts that have been awarded to operators like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fibrus\" target=\"_blank\">Fibrus<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wessexinternet\" target=\"_blank\">Wessex Internet<\/a> and many others).<\/p>\n<p>Back in February 2025 the GBVS was re-opened to voucher projects in <strong>Devon<\/strong> (South West England), which was handy as it followed shortly after the scaling-back and abandonment of several deployment contracts under the separate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Connecting Devon and Somerset<\/a> (CDS) programme (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2024\/10\/devon-and-somerset-uk-broadband-project-scales-back-airband-rollout.html\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2022\/07\/devon-and-somerset-uk-scrap-truespeed-fttp-broadband-contracts.html\">here<\/a>). The sting in the tail was that BDUK only re-opened the voucher scheme until 7th April 2025, which didn&#8217;t leave much time for new projects to proceed.<\/p>\n<p>BDUK has today confirmed that the Funding Platform for both Devon and Somerset has closed for new voucher projects. The hope is that the wider Project Gigabit scheme, whether via future deployments or expansions of existing contracts, should still be able to reach most of the poorly served areas in both counties. Time will tell. But the voucher scheme may yet return to the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As expected, following our earlier report (here), the Government&#8217;s Building Digital UK (BDUK) agency has today confirmed that their Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme (GBVS) has now closed for new voucher projects in Devon and Somerset (England).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24365,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[471,438,56,38,1997],"class_list":["post-41440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bduk","tag-devon","tag-fttp","tag-politics","tag-uk-gigabit-programme"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@ispreview\/114301856739407323","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
