Social Broadband Tariffs: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Lower your monthly internet bills if you receive certain government benefits through these discounted broadband packages.
Social Broadband Tariffs are discounted internet packages designed to make essential connectivity more affordable for people on a lower income.
Who it's for
You may qualify if you receive Universal Credit or other types of means-tested benefits.
What you get
You can access discounted broadband packages. Monthly costs for these plans typically range from £12 to £20.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to apply, but you will need to provide proof that you receive your benefits to qualify for the lower rates.
The catch to know
These discounts are not a universal right from every company; not all internet providers offer these specific social tariffs. You will need to check the official list provided by the regulator to see which companies in your area participate.
How to apply
- Check the official list of providers that offer social tariffs.
- Contact your current provider to see if they offer a discounted rate.
- Provide the required documentation showing your benefit status.
- Set up your new discounted plan through the provider.
