This represents a substantial uplift compared to 2024 levels, when coverage ranged from around 50% to just over 60% across the region.<\/p>\n<p>The largest increase has been seen in Neath Port Talbot, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> coverage has increased by more than 30%, highlighting the rapid pace of infrastructure deployment. Mobile connectivity also remains strong, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> coverage now available from at least one mobile network for 98\u201399% of premises across the region and improving availability across all three operators.
