Connected Nations and infrastructure reports
Reports on the UK’s communications infrastructure, focusing on coverage and performance of fixed broadband and mobile networks.
Our annual Connected Nations report charts the UK’s evolving communications infrastructure, and our progress towards becoming genuinely connected nations. We also publish two smaller updates a year, focusing on the key changes in coverage since our last report.
In addition to the reports, you can find summaries of their key themes, as well as supporting data.
