<p>The UK compares well on superfast connectivity and it is currently available to
over 96% of UK premises, following over £1bn of public investment. This is above European
counterparts like Spain, France and Germany. Demand for these services is also increasing
with 45% of households now opting for a superfast service. This deployment is also
supported by competition from ultrafast services of at least 100Mbps, currently available
to 53% of UK premises.</p><p> </p><p>We are now focussing on full fibre. Published
last year, the Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review set out our national strategy
for ensuring 15m premises are able to connect to full fibre by 2025, with a nationwide
network by 2033. Coverage is increasing quickly, and is now approaching 8% with around
half of this coverage achieved in the last 12 months.</p>
