The last broadband voucher scheme was ran between 2013 - 2015 which saw a £40m Government fund to help get small business broadband avalable to more UK businesses.

There's a new scheme coming this year with the same objective: to get more businesses connected to faster broadband - or connected in the first place.  The previous scheme was only subscribed to by 50  cities accross the UK, which leaves many more businesses in need of faster broadband or being better connected.  In 2017 the government is proposing to start a new broadband voucher scheme worth £3,000 for small businesses as reported by the Telegraph.

We spoke to ex BT & Openreach engineers to get their view on broadband as it stands in the UK, and whether it's best to swtich, stay, or upgrade your connection.

Accordinly to Geoff Grove, who had 23 years experience working for BT he's quite clear that a lot of customers switch when they don't need to. 

Make sure that when you're switching you're sure that it's not just a fault on the line- according to our research, a lot of customers switch to a new providers thinking they'll get a bette speed, when actually it's nothing to do with the providor. See below the view from Geoff Grove who knows his stufff having previously worked  as a BT local Telephone Engineer for over 23 years.
