Things are also better for those who want to access the very best broadband with ultrafast connections also on the rise. Ultrafast broadband (download speeds of at least 300 Mbps) availability has increased across the UK by over 700,000 properties since Ofcom’s December 2019 report, to 16.1 million homes.
This has been driven predominantly by increases in the availability of both Virgin Media’s cable network and full fibre deployments.
Here’s the full Ofcom findings and how things have improved
