I welcome the news that 93.6% of Milton Keynes now have access to Gigabit broadband thanks to investment from the Conservative Government. This is part of a £5 billion Project Gigabit programme in 2019 to boost access.
Better connectivity helps productivity for businesses, unlocking new digital opportunities for people, helping to grow the economy and create a brighter future for all.
We are working with broadband providers to continue to increase connectivity. Nationally, gigabit coverage has increased rapidly from one in ten households in 2019 to eight in ten today. The aim is to go for 85% nationwide coverage by next year and nationwide coverage by 2030.
