ABOUT PROJECT GIGABIT
The government is on a mission to deliver lightning-fast, reliable broadband to everyone in the UK and is investing £5billion in Project Gigabit to ensure that hard-to-reach communities are not left out.
Project Gigabit is looking to extend gigabit capable broadband speeds to reach at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025.
Approximately 80% of coverage is expected to be achieved by commercial rollouts, which leaves the new project to focus on the final 20% of rural and semi-rural areas.
Building Digital UK (BDUK) has awarded broadband provider Connect Fibre a Project Gigabit contract to provide around 6,000 premises across North East Staffordshire with access to gigabit-capable broadband. You can find more information on this procurement here and on our news page.
Openreach have also been awarded a Project Gigabit contract to provide around 11,000 premises across Staffordshire with access to gigabit-capable broadband. You can find the latest information on this procurement here and on our news page.
Thinkbroadband.com will show the latest fibre coverage figures for Staffordshire.
