The Government has allocated a further £150 million to support ultrafast broadband roll-out as part of the June 2017 funding support package for Northern Ireland. For any premises that do not have access to superfast broadband the government will give everyone in the UK a legal right to request a connection of at least 10Mbps by 2020. The Better Broadband Scheme is also available now to enable all premises to have access to a connection speed of at least 2Mbps today.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 12/01/2018 15:26:49 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
