1. Rounded to the nearest £1000. |

2. Includes Vouchers Connected and Vouchers Issued that are yet to be connected. Vouchers issued can subsequently be cancelled, meaning the figures above are the maximum number of vouchers that could be connected in each country/region. |

3. The table above comprises two different measures of voucher value. For issued (but yet to be connected vouchers) we have used the value of the voucher which is theoretically the maximum amount that could be claimed. For vouchers connected, we have used the actual claimed amount. |

4. Encompasses 3 different schemes: Gigabit Voucher Scheme (GBVS), Rural Gigabit Connectivity (RGC) and UKGV (UK Gigabit Voucher). Each scheme had a different set of eligibility criteria. |
