Internet for Everyone

We at Opus Broadband believe that everyone should have basic access to the internet, and our ’Internet for Everyone’ scheme was introduced to help bridge the digital divide across towns and cities in the North West.

As an independent Internet Service Provider, Opus Broadband are committed to donating 20% of our available network as free broadband connections to those who would otherwise be without.

How does it work?

Opus Broadband work with Schools, Charities and Community Groups to identify and refer those in need of this service.

Your organisation will identify a family in need of an internet connection.

You will then make the referral to Opus Broadband.

The family will then be contacted to arrange a convenient time for us to install their free connection.

They are given a completely free broadband connection – for as long as they need it.

It’s as simple as that!

Why are we doing this?

We believe not enough is being done by the national Internet Service Providers to bridge the digital divide.

Whilst social tariffs have been introduced these are still at a cost to even the most disadvantaged families.

At Opus Broadband we decided we could make a real difference.

As an independent Internet Service Provider, at Opus Broadband we are able to go the extra mile and  offer our connections completely free of charge to those who would otherwise be without.

How can you get involved and become an Internet for Everyone referral partner?

We want to continue donating broadband to the digitally excluded who really need it, but we can only do that with your help. If you are part of a local council, housing association, non-profit organisation, school or community group. Get in touch today through the form below.

Why is the Internet vital for these families?

The Free internet we supply to families referred to us through organisations like yours can significantly improve the educational, economic and life outcomes of those we support. Giving them access to vital services such as online learning, facilitating job searches and applications and accessing healthcare services.
