In the second half of 2012, we ran a broadband survey and over 10,000 users took part helping us to better understand the broadband landscape. Today, we are publishing the survey results. Interesting findings include: * Quality and reliability of a broadband connection was cited by respondents as the most important factor when selecting a broadband service * Download speeds were most important for those considering switching providers * 6 in 10 users switched using the MAC process and 89% were happy with the switching process * Half of the users who couldn't switch using a MAC found the process difficult. * 21% of users may have a potentially insecure wireless network which does not use WPA/WPA2 encryption. * If being asked to give up one service, 49% would give up satellite/cable/digital TV, 30% mobile phone and only 2% would give up their broadband connection.

The latest council to sign its contract with BT is Hampshire, with the Solent Enterprise Zone announced as one of the first areas to benefit.

The Herefordshire and Gloucestershire BDUK project has announced the first phase of its roll-out.
