The UK's gigabit broadband market has made substantial strides, reaching an 86% coverage of homes able to access gigabit-capable broadband by January 2025, per Ofcom's latest report. This growth is attributed to government targets of 85% availability by 2025, which have now been exceeded. However, while overall broadband speeds are rising, coverage disparities persist, notably between urban and rural settings. Northern Ireland leads with 94% access to broadband speeds over 300 Mbps, surpassing other UK nations. Continued efforts are necessary to bridge the digital divide in hard-to-reach areas.
