UK Gigabit Broadband Rollout update
Building Digital UK has published its Winter 2022 update on the Government’s Project Gigabit broadband rollout scheme. According to the document, the end of 2021 saw UK gigabit coverage growing rapidly again, helped by the work of Virgin Media O2 and others to upgrade and expand networks. Over 65% of UK premises now have gigabit-capable networks available to them. Meanwhile, the £5bn Project Gigabit continues to deliver to harder-to-reach premises and is ramping up procurement activity that will enable the UK to reach 85% coverage by the end of 2025 and continue towards 100%.
