Another month and some fibre based services may be slowing down, one months results is not enough to cause a major panic, but if this continues for a few months may be a disturbing trend.

While some people maintain the BDUK projects across the UK are a disaster they are delivering something and people are buying it.

North Yorkshire started the BDUK ball rolling with the first cabinet in December 2012 and has now delivered its 1000th cabinet and completed the original roll-out.

We published the news that BT had been signed by Nottinghamshire County Council to extend superfast broadband coverage and we now have the details.

It is a little worrying to see a new Minister get so excited over a superfast broadband roll-out that might actually be one of the worst performing projects overall.

A regional news article caught our eye with complaints about being held to ransom by BT.

The DCMS has published the figures for coverage via the BDUK process as of 31st March 2015 and since then we will have sailed through the 2.5 million mark.

The Isles of Scilly has gone from a wireless backhaul link to undersea fibre and also a number of VDSL2 cabinets and take-up is proving strong even though roll-out is only six months old.

Catching up after a busy few days we now have our coverage data for Nottinghamshire to go alongside what the project itself has announced as the targets.

Another chunk of the UK has signed with BT to extend superfast coverage further, the ConnectedCounties project is a combined effort from Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.
