Community Information Technology Ltd, trading as ‘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. CIT Ltd is a company limited by shares with 100% of the shares owned by Tiree Community Development Trust.
Tiree Broadband currently has over 150 private and business customers on the island offering a 10mb/s download speed.
We regret to inform you that new Tiree Broadband contracts are only available to permanent residents who are unable to obtain a broadband service through the telephone line. This is due to the increasing strain on our limited network resources.
If you have recently purchased a property and intend to live here permanently and are unable to obtain a broadband service through the telephone line. We do however strongly suggest you check other options before requesting Tiree Broadband. Tiree Broadband offers a maximum of 10Mbs. If you can access 4g or Starlink, you may find these to be a better solution.
If you have recently purchased a property and will not be a permanent resident, then we cannot offer you a Tiree Broadband contract – even if the equipment was previously installed in the property. We recommend BT fibre, 4g or Starlink. We will be in touch to recover the equipment.
This policy may change in future, but we do not anticipate any change ahead of the R100 rollout.
We may ask you to prove your residential status by means of the Electoral Roll.
