Community Fibre is pushing its social broadband tariff, which is accessible without proof of income support, following the government’s announced plans to make the most affordable packages as accessible as possible.

VMO2 CEO Lutz Shüler is joining the campaign to cut VAT on social tariffs to 5%.
"The Government could put more money back into the pockets of those struggling most in a targeted way,” he said. “We would pass on any social tariff VAT cut in full and urge the next PM to review this as a priority.”
Schüler has also asserted his company’s commitment to using the government’s new API, which is designed to encourage the uptake of social tariffs.
“Work is already underway to implement this, and we will be expanding our eligibility criteria to include a wider range of benefits so even more people can access our social tariff,” he said.
“On top of this, to ensure customers know about the support on offer, we’ll soon start including information about Essential Broadband in the communications we send to customers every year related to their contract.”
