Anyone know much about the UK Universal Service Obligation (USO)?

My neighbours found that we qualify for a subsidy to enable better internet connectivity.

Potentially we get Gigabit fttp brought to the lane.

Parcel posted in Preston yesterday at 4pm. Delivered before noon today in the "remote" Highlands of Scotland. ✅

Same cost as if it was being sent to Cornwall or anywhere else in the UK.

No "UK mainland excluding most of Scotland" terms and conditions.

No ridiculous "Highland surcharge".

No cr*ppy courier leaving it in someone else's porch or garden.

Use it or lose it.
