SWGFL Broadband Charges Update

Posted on 21 November 2013 by Education Finance

Following on from the post dated 13th November regarding broadband charges, it was confirmed this week that BT have increased their charges by just over 3.4% for the service which has resulted in a slightly higher than anticipated invoices from Scomis and SWGFL.

The pot of money that was put aside for the broadband subsidy was originally calculated to provide an 80% subsidy to schools and was calculated using a best estimate of the fees using last years data. Unfortunately, the increase in charges from BT of 3.4% in broadband charges for 2013/14 will need to be met from the school.
