NFU SCOTLAND is urging farmers and crofters suffering from dismal broadband speeds to investigate their eligibility for free superfast satellite broadband upgrade under the Digital Scotland programme.
A substantial number of farmers and crofters across Scotland still struggle with poor broadband, creating frustration when it comes to running their business, completing forms or accessing the internet.
As part of the Digital Scotland plan, the Better Broadband Subsidy Scheme will cover or contribute to the cost of installing improved wireless or satellite broadband for eligible businesses and homes who are currently stuck with speeds of less than two megabytes per second (Mbps).
