The FTTP builds continue and while the UK full fibre footprint at 14.81% still looks small when you consider it was just 8.13% a year ago you get some idea of how things are changing.

Time once more to look at what speeds people have been getting from the numerous broadband packages in use across the United Kingdom.

Vouchers of £1,500 for home owners and £3,500 have been doubled in Wales in a.move by the Welsh and UK Governments to encourage more people to upgrade their connectivity from under 100 Mbps to much faster speeds.

The roll-outs of full fibre combined with availability of DOCSIS 3.1 now means that 1 in 5 premises in the UK have access to a Gigabit broadband option. This is almost double the 10.9% availability at the start of 2020.

Good news for some families where children are struggling to get online so they can do their school work.

The pandemic and lockdown has for lots of people removed their previous methods for staying engaged and for school children without access to broadband at home this means both falling behind on schooling and contact with fellow classmates.

It is time to reveal what is going on in the land of new homes and how many lack Superfast broadband.

Our regular monthly summary of where the various regions of the United Kingdom are on their journey towards 100% Gigabit coverage continues.

A survey of 2,301 adults for YouGov has seen them publish the data that 28% have noticed their broadband was slight worse and 7% saying it was much worse.

Another month of speed test results to be shared and BT with its 900 Mbps FTTP service is cementing its position at the top of the table.
