More businesses in Glasgow will gain the added option of a full fibre connection at prices well below the previous full leased line pricing, and a range of dark fibre options too.

Worcestershire is progressing with its BDUK gap funded superfast broadband roll-out and we are hoping that the extra money from gainshare will largely be spent on full fibre.

The 2017 Budget is hoping to kick start local pure fibre projects with funding that may add several hundred thousand premises to the UK FTTP footprint.

Business groups regularly highlight the plight of businesses that have not benefited from the superfast roll-outs so far and four councils are attempting to address this.

In September 2015, we started testing the performance of Airport Wi-fi services at the five main London airports. We went back to see how they have changed and came away quite disappointed.

Since the very first VSDL2 cabinets hit capacity problems, needing new line cards or even a new VDSL2 cabinet adding people have wondered how this impacts on the overall UK availability of superfast broadband, and we have now crunched the numbers to see what difference it makes.

Politicians speeches are having a rough patch due to the Brexit and Trump effect, so a more traditional one from the UK Prime Minister tries to set out an industrial strategy.

Many people will see the headline and say 'yes we know that' but no-one has as far as we are aware crunched the numbers to give any definitive data on the gap.

The copper based VDSL2 service has a little more information available to people around the expected speeds and should help people to pester providers who claim a certain speed is ok and not a fault.

One of the largest BDUK projects was due to complete phase one by the end of 2016 so we are taking a look at how close or not the various parts of Devon and Somerset are.
