answer text Since 2010 the government has committed £780 million to bringing Britain into the digital superfast lane. The rollout of superfast broadband will reach 95% of the UK by 2017 because of our investment and the match funding it has leveraged. In addition to rolling out superfast to 95% we are exploring ways to go beyond this through a series of pilot schemes; and we are extending our successful Connection Voucher Scheme which helps businesses with broadband connection costs. Currently available in the 22 Super Connected Cities, the Connection Voucher scheme will be extended to more cities in 2015. more like this
