<p>There is no direct link between the smart meter programme and the superfast broadband
rollout programme, because the smart meters programme will not be using fixed broadband
connections (they will instead involve transfer of small amounts of data over wireless
technologies). However, i can confirm that the Government broadband programme is making
good progress with over 600,000 new premises now having superfast broadband available
for the first time as a result of the Government’s investment and that will rise to
over 1 million by the end of Summer 2014.</p>
