At last the Scottish broadband project that covers the rest of Scotland has delivered a live FTTC service where people can place orders.

The West Yorkshire broadband project to extend superfast coverage beyond the commercial footprint has started to deliver, with the first cabinet going live on an old brewery site.

High speed broadband is one of those it means nothing phrases as some Wi-Fi hot spots have claimed this since 2000, but for those in the urban village of Chapelford it may mean something.

The county with the highest proportion of FTTP in the UK will be Cornwall due to the proportion used in the Cornish roll-out, though to date this is not heavily reflected in speed test results from the county.

While we know there will be those that dispute this, BT has declared that its fibre to the cabinet based service is now available to 1 million properties in Scotland.

Derbyshire has started to deliver on its multi-million pound broadband project.

Wales is consistently at the bottom of broadband speed charts so the Welsh Governments project to improve broadband access has an uphill battle to correct this.

The checks on the amount of homes covered by the BDUK project continue with the latest figures on homes passed being released.

The Surrey broadband project is aiming to get almost every property connected to a fibre based solution and our estimates suggest that Weybridge is very close to the Governments own 95% with option of a superfast service by 2017.

The rush to empty the RCBF bank account continues, as it appears that £1.4m has been awarded to BT in Shropshire to connect another 1,000 premises.
