The Government\u2019s Building Digital UK<\/a> agency has today published an annual progress report on their publicly subsidised gigabit broadband rollout schemes. The data reveals that some 1.42 million premises have now received coverage under BDUK’s gigabit programmes since their inception, including 192,570 premises in 2025\/26 alone.<\/p>\n

At present over 90% of UK premises can already access a 1000Mbps+ (1Gbps) capable broadband network (here<\/a>) and Ofcom<\/a> separately forecast that this could reach up to 95% by January 2029 (here<\/a>). Most of this has been delivered by commercial deployments (predominantly focused on urban and semi-urban areas), but there are some areas in the final c.10% of premises that are simply too expensive for commercial providers.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Project Gigabit aims to help extend gigabit broadband (1000Mbps+) ISP networks to \u201cnationwide<\/em>\u201d coverage (c.99% of UK premises) by 2032, focusing mostly on the hard-to-reach areas (mostly rural locations).<\/div>\n

Project Gigabit was originally established in 2021 and is designed to focus on those commercially unviable areas – usually rural and semi-rural locations with no existing plans for a gigabit upgrade within the next c.3 years. The project has already committed most of its budget up to 2032, but there are still some contracts yet to be awarded and others that have been scaled-back or switched suppliers (e.g. here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The latest update<\/strong> builds on BDUK\u2019s prior report and covers the year from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, although it should be noted that the agency also publishes regular monthly updates to cover the progress of individual contracts (GIS) under the Project Gigabit scheme (May 2026 example<\/a>). Today\u2019s report is thus more of a general overall progress update, without any individual contract specifics.<\/p>\n

The new report also includes some additional data and a regional breakdown of the figures, some of which we\u2019ve included below. One key thing to note below is that Project Gigabit itself has still only delivered a relatively small amount of gigabit coverage, with the earlier Superfast Broadband Programme<\/strong> (SFBB) continuing to hold the lion\u2019s share (largely because that ran for many years longer and Project Gigabit is much more recent).<\/p>\n

Highlights of BDUK’s Gigabit Figures for 2025\/26<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a4 BDUK interventions delivered gigabit-capable broadband coverage to 192,570 premises in 2025\/26, an increase of 42,280 (28%) premises compared with the previous financial year.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Since the launch of BDUK gigabit programmes, an estimated cumulative total of 1,418,410 premises have received gigabit-capable coverage through BDUK subsidy.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Delivery in 2025\/26 was primarily driven by Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy (GIS) contracts, which accounted for 72% (139,490 premises) of all premises delivered. Voucher schemes contributed 16% (30,530 premises), while Superfast and Hubs interventions accounted for the remaining 12% (22,550 premises). The figures reported for GIS do not include delivery for contracts in which BDUK is not the leading authority.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Delivery continued to be concentrated in rural areas, which represented 90% (173,190 premises) of all premises delivered during the year.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Most premises delivered were residential properties. In 2025\/26, 90% (173,270 premises) were classified as residential and 9% (17,790 premises) as commercial.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 England accounted for approximately three quarters of the delivery (75% – 145,110 premises), followed by Scotland (16% – 30,530 premises), Wales (8% – 15,430 premises), and Northern Ireland (1% – 1,470 premises).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The results also mean that some 257,590 premises to benefit from BDUK’s interventions were classified as “urban<\/em>“. In addition, of the total able to benefit, 871,360 premises came from areas that didn’t previously have any access to a “superfast<\/em>” (30Mbps+) capable connection (some 534,210 were from areas that did have access to speeds of at least 30Mbps before the upgrade).<\/p>\n
