Deryck Shepherd, Chief Commercial Officer at Connect Fibre, said:
“We understand the immense pressures families and pensioners are facing during the cost of living crisis. Internet access is not a luxury; it’s a necessity for staying connected with loved ones, accessing services, and managing day-to-day life.
With recent changes to the winter fuel allowance leaving many elderly individuals with less financial support, this updated social tariff ensures pensioners and those in need can still access vital online services without worrying about the cost of internet connectivity.
By extending the eligibility of our leading 150Mbps Essentials social tariff, and also reducing the cost of our flexible add-ons, we’re committed to our goal of ensuring that no one is left behind in this digital world, no matter their financial circumstances.”
