Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport written question – answered at on 16 January 2020.
Luke Evans
Conservative, Bosworth
What steps her Department is taking to improve broadband connections in Bosworth constituency.
Matt Warman
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
The government has made good progress in Bosworth, with over 97% of premises able to access superfast speeds. This is up from 57% in 2010.
Only 1% of premises in the constituency of Bosworth have speeds below 15 Megabits per second. This is testament to the great work undertaken by the Superfast Leicestershire superfast broadband rollout programme, which has been boosted by just under £8 million of central government funding. In October 2018 the 600th Superfast Fibre cabinet in Leicestershire was unveiled in Market Bosworth.
