Ofcom is responsible the regulation of the UK broadband market and monitors and publishes broadband coverage data in its annual Infrastructure Report.

Ofcom’s 2014 report indicated an increasing level NGA coverage in Surrey since 2011, as set out below:

Premises with NGA network coverage

2011

Ofcom does not, however, publish data by constituency, but it has published data by postcode at http://infrastructure.ofcom.org.uk/ and http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/research/ir/Fixed_postcode.zip.
