Broadband: Slough

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what his expected timeline is for full-fibre availability in the SL2 postcode in Slough constituency.

Answered by Chris Bryant

According to the independent website ThinkBroadband, over 99% of premises in Slough have access to superfast broadband speeds, and over 96% have access to a gigabit-capable (1000 Mbps) connection.

We currently expect the remaining premises in Slough to be reached by suppliers' commercial rollout, but if there are any premises that cannot be covered commercially, they will be considered for inclusion in Project Gigabit or other interventions.
