With the plans for Digital Britain failing dramatically if the newspaper stories are true it is good to see some smaller projects progressing.

Another county council has signed its BDUK project, and is aiming to get fibre based broadband to 95% of premises in the county by the end of 2016.

Residents and businesses in Oxfordshire now have some idea of where the counties project to deliver superfast broadband to 90% of premises will happen.

While many counties are still figuring out how much information to publish on its roll-out, Suffolk County Council appears to have adopted the old village church fund raising totaliser to show how things are progressing.

We warned you that the Urban Broadband Fund website would be up and running and it is alive and kicking and ready to do business. So if you run a business and are in a trial area head on over to find out more and see which providers can offer you a service.

After the recent National Audit Office report and Public Accounts Committee one could be forgiven for thinking that nothing was happening in the UK broadband scene but it seems that delivery is starting to progress with little input from the politicians.

Another county and a few more million to improve speeds, though Worcestershire does appear to be aiming for a mixture of FTTC and FTTP in its BDUK roll-out.

While there are some that want to mourn the state of UK broadband, another piece in the jigsaw to improve the situation has fallen into place with the latest BDUK project signing.

The amount of information on where and when fibre optic broadband in the form of mainly FTTC is increasing daily, with Lancashire one of the latest to announce the next areas to get improvements.

The connection voucher scheme that is part of the super connected city plan is starting to fall into place, with the new website now making an appearance.
