answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2018 answer text <p>Take-up rates from projects in the Phase 1 Superfast Broadband Programme now average over 40%, significantly higher than the level expected by suppliers at the start of the programme. In BT’s quarterly results to the end of December 2017, they announced that connections to fibre-enabled broadband now total 9.2 million, up by 600,000 within the quarter.

The Department is currently reviewing these data and other evidence to consider options for increasing superfast broadband uptake.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 08/02/2018 17:52:34 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
