Scottish Broadband voucher scheme

Hi all,
I currently have a 17M/1.2M FTTC service (best part of 2000m to cabinet)
When I check scotlandsuperfast.com for my postcode it tells me I should be eligble for a voucher
The Scottish Government has been informed that a commercial broadband provider plans to build a superfast connection in your area.

The new connection will mean your address can get faster internet speeds. That’ll make it easier to videocall loved ones, watch shows online, work from home, and more – without any hiccups.

If you haven’t received a connection, you may be able to get a one-off £400 voucher from the Scottish Government. You will have to engage a registered provider to apply for this funding on your behalf by 31 December 2021. Find out more
here

But when I follow that link, I basically get a list of ISP's including Openreach, but how do I actually find someone who will deliver something better until FTTP arrives without spending hours talking to a call centre drone who doesnt understand the question?

Thanks
 
Thanks Adam, but that just gives dozens of isp's main websites, then your only option is to phone dozens of call centres and try and explain no, I don't have a fault, no, I am not a customer, I want a voucher for something other than FTTC

I'm afraid that's what you'll have to do. Most have an online form/email you can fill out. I got a response from most of them using email, didn't call once. Use keywords. Scotlandsuperfast, voucher, interim voucher, £400, your address etc.. Stuff like that. I ended up copy and pasting the same thing to all of them.

Edit: I saved some time by not clicking Full fibre or satellite only providers as i know there is 0% chance of fttp being available from any provider with £400 interim voucher and i don't want satellite due to latency. Click what works for you and whats realistic for your home/area.
