2. Why are we here?
The Government has an ambition for Britain to have “the best superfast
broadband network in Europe by 2015”
BT is investing £2.5bn to roll-out fibre broadband to around two-thirds of the UK
by the end of Spring 2014
It’s already in reach of more than 13 million premises and will reach two-thirds
of UK by the end of Spring 2014
£530m has been allocated by Government – during the lifetime of this
parliament - public funding to bring superfast broadband to the more remote urban
and rural areas
Surrey signed a contract with BT in September to extend the roll-out of
fibre broadband to 99.7% of the county’s premises and State Aid approval
from the EU for this programme was received in November.
Compared to the rest of the UK Surrey is taking the lead in aiming to
give almost 100% homes and businesses in the County access to
superfast broadband.

tool to facilitate and streamline the process.
Amy Jane Leeson & Robert Davies, Epsom
“ Using superfast broadband from previously being on a slower internet
connection has allowed me to access online video streaming outlets such as
Netflix & Love film. Also on demand apple TV works considerably faster and
is more usable.
Overall the experience of having superfast broadband has eliminated the
frustration around simply using the internet and is now more of a useful user
”
