WORK to increase the speed of Tiree’s broadband moved a little closer this week when Community Broadband Scotland (CBS) announced it is to give the island’s broadband network, Community Information Technology Ltd (CIT Ltd), a major cash boost.
CBS is awarding £80,000 of the £91,000 CIT Ltd needs to upgrade Tiree’s internet network and begin offering improved broadband services with speeds up to 30Mbps. The remaining £11,000 will come from Tiree Community Development Trust (CDT).
Mark Vale from Tiree CDT said: ‘Tiree Community Development Trust is thrilled we have been able to secure this funding from CBS for our community-owned wireless communications provider CIT Ltd. Improving infrastructure like broadband is a vi tal component in the development of our local economy and in our island’s fight against depopulation. This project will deliver a greatly improved quality of internet service and speed to 160 households and businesses in our community and enhance the long-term viability of community broadband on Tiree.’
