Over 71 per cent of premises are now able to access gigabit-capable broadband, up from 6 per cent in January 2019.

We are on track to hit our target of 85 per cent gigabit coverage by 2025. We have published our delivery trajectory to reach our target and Building Digital UK (BDUK) publishes quarterly updates to demonstrate our progress towards this milestone.
