Superfast Broadband
The roll out of superfast broadband across South Yorkshire will commence late 2015 and be completed by the end of 2017 covering 97.9% of the region with fibre broadband.
Other forms of superfast connections are also available, including wi-fi, so most areas can access superfast speeds.
The Superfast South Yorkshire Scheme is also enabling companies to access the new technology, with grants of up to £3000.

Fast and reliable broadband has never been more important for business. Whether you’re a retail company selling direct to the public or a design firm needing to download and upload files, a speedy connection is key to trading. Superfast South Yorkshire will deliver connections which allow firms to flourish.
Superfast broadband is the next generation of broadband − providing a faster and more reliable service. It uses fibre optic technology to deliver speeds which can top 80Mbps.
Speedier connections give a big boost to businesses. Online businesses are able to interact more effectively with their customers, to access global markets, and to make the most of online file storage opportunities and increases efficiency of being able to work away from the office - at home, from multiple offices, or when on the road with work.
It will also boost the competitiveness of local businesses, helping them to find new customers and operate more efficiently, whilst opening up a host of new learning opportunities for residents.
Superfast broadband benefits include users being able to use multiple bandwidth-hungry applications at the same time and sending and receiving large amounts of data much more quickly and effectively.
Grants (also known as 'vouchers') are available to Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) across South Yorkshire. It’s a grant, not a loan, so you don’t have to pay it back. The grant covers the cost associated with connecting to superfast broadband.
