Free Futureproof Broadband for Schools!

With the withdrawal of some public subsidies for educational internet access and the ever-growing demand for more bandwidth, schools across the country are facing a real cost squeeze.

Pubs, Village Shops, Post Offices and Schools are all anchor institutions for rural communities, providing both service and a focal point for each local area.

As a not-for-profit social enterprise, NextGenUs UK CIC, in common with the other members of the NextGenUs democratic franchise, takes the community interest very seriously and is pleased to announce a radical offer to help community-minded local schools reduce their internet access costs drastically, with the genuine potential for free service!

This outcome is simply achieved by schools working together with NextGenUs to provide SSB (Symmetric Superfast Broadband) for the local community in exchange for a discount to the cost of school internet service in proportion to the percentage uptake by the local community.

Where fibre is present already, the proven NextGenUs approach is to provide a minimum internet feed of 100Mbps symmetric (same upload as download) and the preferred feed speed is Gigabit, as soon as local demand for service warrants the extra investment and ongoing costs incurred.

The NextGenUs pilot areas for schools interested in finding out more about this innovative Big Society initiative are:

Cumbria

Yorkshire (North, South, East and West)

Lincolnshire

Leicestershire

And enquiries are welcomed from schools across the UK interested in cutting costs, improving capacity and helping their local communities at the same time.
