The UK has achieved a significant milestone in internet connectivity, reaching 85% nationwide gigabit broadband coverage. This means the majority of the country now has access to internet speeds of at least 1 gigabit per second (1 Gbps), fulfilling a government target set in 2018. The achievement brings faster and more reliable internet access to millions across the UK.
Get ready for lightning-fast internet as millions of homes and businesses across the UK are set to receive a significant broadband speed boost over the coming months. Over 500 new locations will be connected to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) networks, capable of delivering speeds in excess of 1Gbps. This upgrade will replace aging copper lines that currently limit speeds to around 70Mbps, providing a significant improvement in connectivity.
