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 reports (previously called the Infrastructure Report) chart the UK’s evolving communications infrastructure, and our progress towards becoming genuinely connected nations. In addition, we publish two smaller updates a year, which focus 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.
