Essentials Package: 

 

At County Broadband, we understand that managing finances can be tough during these times, and we're here to help you through these challenges. 

To support you, we have created the Essential  Broadband Package which works out at £15 per month offering 15Mbps Download and Upload speeds with unlimited data. 

Eligibility for the Essential Broadband Package is for existing customers who are in receipt of Universal Credits or Pension Credits. To check if you are eligible, head to your customer portal and look under the `Services’ tab  or click https://service.countybroadband.co.uk/index.php?m=dwp_tariff_check 

As a new customer, you need to sign up for one of our standard plan first to be able to apply for our Essential Broadband Package.

  • You can re-apply as many times as you need to.
