The Government has put up £4 million for a 3 year trial looking into using the water mains as a way of getting FTTP into millions of homes.

The full fibre roll-outs continue at pace even though the level of overlap between networks is increasing every month.

The good news FTTP roll-outs continue as UK hits 25% mark, but the bad news is that three quarters of premises still do not have an FTTP option.

While some 48,000 premises have benefited from Gigabit voucher schemes with no contracts awarded under the much larger Project Gigabit everyone waiting for Gigabit broadband in rural areas is hoping the dice give them a good result.

For those with slow broadband that is well below 10 Mbps then the latest survey commissioned by Netgem is somewhat obvious. In addition to the survey we show the one must do thing that will help to ensure a stutter free experience.

The Openreach FTTP roll-out continues and we have set another new record for the amount found in the last month.

30 days since our last monthly round-up of the nations and regions of the UK and its time to see which areas have seen the most full fibre growth.

While end of Q2 has seen the mean UK download speed increase from 58 Mbps to 67.2 Mbps driven by more people buying full fibre services, the individual broadband packages people are using are keeping to their fairly consistent speeds.

Q2 2021 has just ended and it looks like with lock downs ending people have been having FTTP installed.

The councils for what is one of the most rural areas of England is asking the Government to be flexible on how broadband connectivity is improved.
