Superfast Essex, Essex County Council

Superfast Essex is part of a national broadband improvement programme led by the UK Government which is aiming to make Britain one of the best connected countries in the world.

Through the Superfast Britain programme, Building Digital UK (BDUK) – a team within the Department for Culture, Media and Sport – wants to provide as many homes and businesses as possible with access to superfast broadband, with minimum download speeds of 30Mbps becoming the new standard.

Superfast Essex, co-ordinated by Essex County Council, is one of 47 regional programmes working to achieve the Government’s ambition. In Essex more than £80 million is being invested from the public sector and commercial partners, with the aim of enabling 155,000 homes and businesses to access superfast fibre broadband by 2022.
