The Government’s national \u00a31.2bn Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> scheme, which aims to make fixed line superfast broadband speeds of “greater than 24Mbps<\/em>” available to 95% of the population by 2017, has at the end of February 2014 passed around 370,000 homes and businesses. Meanwhile the DCMS Secretary of State, Maria Miller<\/em>, has left the building and\u00a0been replaced by\u00a0Sajid Javid.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The coverage figures represent additional premises, supported by the Government’s public funding, that otherwise wouldn\u2019t have been upgraded as part of BT<\/a>\u2019s separate \u00a32.5bn commercial roll-out to 66% of the United Kingdom by Spring 2014 or via Virgin Media<\/a>\u2019s existing cable reach.<\/p>\n

The latest official update has also confirmed that these figures represent “superfast<\/em>” capable premises, as opposed to an overall total of those merely reached by the operators “fibre broadband<\/em>” network (i.e. FTTC<\/a> lines can deliver from upwards of 2Mbps).<\/p>\n

However as this data is coming from a politician, and remains entirely based on an estimate of “premises passed<\/em>“, then we would always encourage some caution because the reality can sometimes be a little more complex; real-world performance or availability will often differ.<\/p>\n

Ed Vaizey, Communications Minister, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We audit every quarter, and we estimate that by the end of February we had passed 370,000 homes with superfast broadband. We were passing 10,000 homes a week and we are now on track to pass 40,000 homes a week [by summer 2014], so the programme is accelerating all the time<\/em>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

BDUK Premises Passed History<\/strong><\/span>
\nDecember 2012 – Premises: 254 \/ BDUK Funding: \u00a3434,735
\nMarch 2013 – Premises: 16,638 \/ BDUK Funding: \u00a36,767,185
\nJune 2013 – Premises: 38,343 \/ BDUK Funding: \u00a36,767,185
\nSeptember 2013 – Premises: 111,968 \/ BDUK Funding: \u00a310,347,568
\nDecember 2013 – Premises: 273,731 \/ BDUK Funding: \u00a314,182,547
\nFebruary 2014 – Premises: 370,000 \/ BDUK Funding: \u00a3TBA<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The data suggests that the BDUK and BT<\/a> roll-out is going to plan and might still be able to reach its original \/ first goal of 90% coverage by the end of 2015 (BDUK myths<\/a>). If the current pace continues then we should be well on our way to seeing around 500k passed by the next update (unofficially it\u2019s already passed 400K).<\/p>\n

The above figures were released during yesterday’s Parliamentary debate on broadband in the rural North of England.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 9:31am<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve spotted an interesting update on the issue of superfast broadband take-up over at the BBC<\/a>, which quotes the Welsh Government<\/a> as confirming that, “We are at an early stage in the programme and the marketing activity. Current take up figures for cabinets that have been in place for over one year are around 19%. This is where we would expect take up to be at this stage<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

The figure of 19% is quite good for first year BDUK upgrades and perhaps reflects that demand for better broadband is, as expected,\u00a0greater in areas that have been left neglected by the commercial deployment.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 9:38am<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breaking News – The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), which manages BDUK, has just lost its Secretary of State, Maria Miller<\/strong>, over the recent expenses scandal. So that’s the second one gone since Jeremy Hunt<\/strong> quit two years ago. Who will be next and will anything change?<\/p>\n

In a letter<\/a> to the Prime Minister she wrote: “It has become clear to me that the present situation has become a distraction from the vital work this Government is doing to turn our country around<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

UPDATE 11:06am<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well that was quick. Miller has been replaced by the Conservative MP for Bromsgrove, Sajid Javid<\/strong>, whom currently holds the post of Financial Secretary to the Treasury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
