Superfast Broadband Programme: Synthesis report

Summary

The UK's Superfast Broadband Programme was launched to bridge the digital divide in commercially unviable areas by funding network providers to extend superfast broadband infrastructure. An evaluation of Phase 3, completed in 2024, confirmed significant positive impacts on the availability of superfast and gigabit-capable broadband services and fostered local economic growth, including substantial job creation and increased business turnover. While maximum download speeds increased, widespread adoption of faster services was still developing by the evaluation period.
