Broadband: South West
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what progress her Department has made on rolling out Project Gigabit in the South West.
Answered by Ian Murray
Through Project Gigabit we are delivering gigabit-capable connections to premises across the South West that are not expected to be reached by the commercial market alone.
Up to 31 March 2025, approximately 165,900 premises across the region have received access to a gigabit-capable broadband connection through publicly-funded broadband projects.
We remain committed to ensuring that at least 99% of UK premises are able to access a gigabit-capable connection by 2032.
