answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2023 answer text <p>Eligibility for the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme is dependent on premises meeting the relevant criteria, such as not being included in any suppliers’ commercial rollout plans for a gigabit-capable connection, nor in any other government-funded contract - planned or in place - to improve the network.</p><p> </p><p>Eligibility for the voucher scheme is also dependent on the premises’ rurality status and only being able to access speeds less than 100Mbps. Therefore, commercial plans to provide superfast speeds (&gt;=30Mbps) would not result in ineligibility for the scheme, assuming the premises met the wider requirements.</p><p> </p><p>Although premises that are included in suppliers’ plans to receive a <em>gigabit-capable</em> connection are ineligible for vouchers, we still keep commercial plans under review. If these plans change, we will explore whether the premises can be connected through Project Gigabit.</p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Sir John Whittingdale question first answered 15/11/2023 09:52:39 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
