answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2018 answer text <p>According to data from Thinkbroadband (www.thinkbroadband.com) the current superfast broadband coverage (speeds of more than 24Mbps) in the Lewisham, Deptford constituency is 95.5% and in the London Borough of Lewisham it is 97.8%. The Government expects superfast broadband coverage within London to be provided by the private sector and there is therefore no government-funded superfast project. Providers including BT Openreach, Virgin Media and Hyperoptic all have current or planned network coverage within Lewisham.</p><p> </p><p>During 2017 DCMS worked with a number of London Boroughs to ensure proportionate mechanisms are in place to enable access to the highways by broadband providers for network deployment.</p><p> </p><p>Across the UK, the Government and local bodies together are investing £1.7 billion of public money to support vital improvements in broadband services across the UK. Superfast broadband coverage reached 95% of premises in December 2017 – up from 45% in 2010.</p><p> </p><p>For any premises not covered by superfast broadband, as confirmed in our announcement in December 2017, we are pushing ahead with our plans for a Universal Service Obligation (USO) so that by 2020 everyone across the UK will have a clear, enforceable right to request 10 Megabit per second broadband.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 08/02/2018 17:46:49 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
