Details

In this Project Gigabit Delivery Plan spring update, we set out the progress being made to deliver fast and reliable connectivity to homes and businesses across the UK.

It includes the latest on our pipeline of procurements including new regional procurements in Norfolk and Suffolk and two local supplier procurements in Cornwall, extending gigabit-capable connectivity to up to 190,000 premises. It also outlines our market engagement exercises, which we have conducted in over 20 places across the UK.

The update provides details on gigabit-capable broadband coverage across the devolved nations and regions, in urban and rural areas, by supplier, and by residential and commercial premises.

Finally, it reports on the ongoing commercial investment in full fibre networks across the UK, and provides an update regarding BDUK’s launch as an Executive Agency of DCMS.
