The satellite broadband provider, Avanti Communications, has been handed a twelve month extension to the Broadband Reach scheme by the Scottish government.
The deal is expected to be worth an extra £500,000 for Avanti, which has been providing over two thousand homes and small business with an up-to-3 Mbps broadband service, right across Scotland, to locations where fixed line and mobile broadband are not available.
Avanti is launching a new satellite soon, and it is believed that the company will be featuring heavily when it comes to the Digital Britain report, as it could help to deliver broadband to those parts of the country that other providers cannot reach.
The cost is slightly more per month than fixed line broadband, but the real problem is cost of the equipment and installation as this can work out at a few hundred pounds.
Hi Avanti, you have recently installed satellite coms for me on the Isle of Skye and I’m delighted!! exept that the BBC think I’m not in the UK and asked me to contact you so I can access their I player TV service. Can you sort it for me ?
Come on Avanti!!! Everyone thinks I’m in Italy get your act together
