Official statistics for BDUK delivery performance in 2026/27 set out how many premises in the United Kingdom received gigabit-capable broadband coverage as a result of Building Digital UK subsidy. The annual release focuses on the reach of publicly supported broadband deployment rather than overall market coverage.
The figures are intended to show delivery performance under government-backed programmes run through BDUK. By tracking the number of premises that gained access to gigabit-capable connections, the report gives an updated view of how subsidy is contributing to faster broadband availability across the UK.
This type of annual data is useful for measuring progress in broadband infrastructure rollout and for comparing delivery over time. It helps show where public funding is translating into new coverage and how much of the UK premises base has been reached through BDUK-supported work.
While the trimmed source does not include the full breakdown, the publication is framed as an official statistical update on gigabit-capable broadband coverage delivered with BDUK support during 2026/27. That makes it a key reference point for anyone following UK broadband policy, infrastructure expansion and publicly funded digital connectivity.
