Broadband: Maidstone and Malling
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps his Department is taking to enhance broadband speed in Maidstone and Malling constituency.
Answered by Chris Bryant
According to the independent website ThinkBroadband.com, over 98% of premises in the Maidstone and Malling constituency can already access superfast broadband speeds (>=30 Mbps) and over 88% have access to a gigabit-capable (>1000 Mbps) connection.
The information that broadband suppliers share with Building Digital UK (BDUK) indicates that there is significant further commercial rollout planned in the area. Remaining premises that are unlikely to be reached by suppliers’ commercial plans will be considered for support through Project Gigabit.
