UK Government Help Superfast Broadband Reach 4 Million Extra Premises

The Government’s Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) programme, which is supported by £1.6bn of public investment, has released its latest progress update and confirmed that 4,021,047 additional premises can now access a “superfast broadband” (24Mbps+) service and there’s more to come.

As it stands most of the original Phase One BDUK contracts with BT, which are assisting via the expanded roll-out of their hybrid fibre FTTC (up to 80Mbps) and some pure fibre optic FTTP (330Mbps) broadband networks, have now completed. Overall it’s estimated that a shade over 91% of the United Kingdom can today order a superfast connection, if so desired.
