In that sense, the current Prime Minister, <strong>Rishi Sunak<\/strong>, can only really repeat the pledges they&#8217;ve already made in this area.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> reports that 80% of the UK could already access a gigabit-capable broadband network in Jan 2024 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2024\/04\/ofcom-spring-2024-study-gigabit-broadband-covers-24-million-uk-homes.html\">here<\/a>), while geographic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> coverage stands at between 81-88% for all operators. But we don&#8217;t yet have a measure for Standalone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> (SA) coverage, which is a fairly recent enhancement.<\/div>\n<p>The party is currently backing several programmes for improving broadband and mobile. The first is the industry-led \u00a31bn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/03\/operators-sign-1bn-deal-for-95-geographic-uk-4g-cover-by-2026.html\"><strong>Shared Rural Network<\/strong><\/a> project, which aims to boost geographic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> coverage to 95% of the UK (or 84% for areas where you\u2019ll be able to take it from all operators) by the end of 2025 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2024\/05\/pac-warn-pace-of-rural-uk-4g-mobile-rollout-project-is-unsustainable.html\">part of this is delayed<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, they\u2019ve also set a target for \u201c<em>all populated areas to be covered by \u2018standalone\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> (5G-plus) [network] by 2030<\/em>\u201c (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2023\/04\/uk-set-ambition-to-deliver-standalone-5g-to-all-populated-areas-by-2030.html\">here<\/a>), although we would have preferred to see a stronger target based on geographic coverage and one that was a bit more binding on the operators.<\/p>\n<p>The final one is their \u00a35bn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/03\/gov-starts-gbp5bn-uk-gigabit-broadband-and-voucher-schemes.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> programme, which aims to make <strong>1Gbps+<\/strong> fixed broadband speeds available to at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025 and to then push that \u201c<em>nationwide<\/em>\u201d (c.99%) by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>As above, the new <a href=\"https:\/\/manifesto.conservatives.com\/clkn\/https\/public.conservatives.com\/static\/documents\/GE2024\/Conservative-Manifesto-GE2024.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Conservative 2024 Manifesto Document<\/strong><\/a> (PDF) doesn&#8217;t add anything new and makes two related mentions of broadband and mobile policies. The only slight annoyance below is the unnecessary switch in terminology from &#8220;<em>high-speed internet<\/em>&#8221; to &#8220;<em>gigabit coverage<\/em>&#8220;, which later changes to &#8220;<em>high-speed broadband<\/em>&#8221; (just to be clear, they&#8217;re all talking about the same thing &#8211; gigabit speeds):<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u27a4 &#8220;<em>We have transformed our digital infrastructure by rolling out gigabit broadband to over a million hard to reach premises, helping to deliver high-speed internet to over 80% of the country. We are set to achieve at least 85% gigabit coverage of the UK by 2025 and nationwide coverage by 2030. Our ambition is for all populated areas to be covered by \u2018standalone\u2019 5G mobile connectivity and to keep the UK at the forefront of adopting and developing 6G<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u27a4 &#8220;<em>Over 80% of properties across the country can now access high-speed broadband, up from just 7% in 2019, with a record \u00a3714 million committed to boosting rural broadband coverage in 2024. We will invest in new technology to achieve our ambitious broadband targets for hard-to-reach areas<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At present, the first 2025 pledge (85%) for gigabit broadband under Project Gigabit looks likely to be exceeded. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> currently forecasts that gigabit coverage will reach around 87-91% by May 2025 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2023\/10\/ofcom-predict-94-percent-of-uk-covered-by-gigabit-broadband-in-may-2026.html\">here<\/a>), albeit thanks mostly to commercial builds. But the 2030 goal for &#8220;<em>nationwide<\/em>&#8221; (c.99% of the UK) coverage will still be a challenge, and we wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if it fell a little short.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, the party&#8217;s targets for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> and 5G mobile coverage have, in the past, often been a bit of a mixed bag, and it doesn&#8217;t help that gauging the progress of mobile coverage remains notoriously difficult due to the highly variable environment for related signals and performance. The SRN shows just how challenging such projects can be, particularly with so many unknowns around planning approvals (i.e. local opposition) and the current delays (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2024\/05\/pac-warn-pace-of-rural-uk-4g-mobile-rollout-project-is-unsustainable.html\">here<\/a>), thus it remains unclear how close the country will get to hitting these mobile targets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Readers should always take political pledges, from any party, with a pinch of salt until there\u2019s more solid detail (something manifestos often lack).
