To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment his Department has made of the number of broadband cabinets that are (a) at capacity and (b) over capacity; and what assessment his Department has made of the effect of full to capacity cabinets on broadband speeds.
Margot James
The Minister of State, Department for Culture, Media and Sport
The department does not hold information on the overall number of cabinets that are currently at capacity. Thinkbroadband (www.thinkbroadband.com) have recently estimated that between 1,500 and 2,500 of Openreach’s 79,000 cabinets are at capacity at any point in time.
