Tiree Broadband

Tiree Broadband is a not for profit company established to provide broadband access to the people of Tiree. The company owns and operates a commercial quality wireless network linked to a multi-feed ADSL backhaul. The wireless network allows Tiree Broadband to reach areas of the island outwith the reach of conventional broadband.

Tiree Broadband provides broadband private individuals, companies and community groups at prices comparable with mainstream ADSL providers. It is able to do this by keeping its operating costs to a minimum and by utilising skilled volunteers and professionals from Tiree.

Any surplus revenue generated from subscriptions is re-invested in maintaining, extending and upgrading the network. This allows us to offer high levels of quality of service and reliability.

Tiree broadband has been operating successfully for 4 years and now has over 100 subscribers making it one of the largest and most successful community broadband networks in Scotland.

Tiree Broadband also owns and supports a public Internet access wireless hot-spot run by Tiree Rural Centre, as well as providing broadband feeds for community Internet access at An Iodhlann and providing data connections for Discover Tiree's network of touch-screen information points.
