So those with the lowest speeds should get the benefits of the money first.

The Government has said the money will be spent on an ‘outside-in’ principle. So, if you can’t currently get a USO level connection, you could be covered by this. The UK Government has also announced it will be investing £5 billion in delivering new ‘gigabit-capable’ broadband infrastructure to areas where it’s not currently commercially viable to do so. This scheme is completely separate to the USO and is run by Openreach, independent of BT Group. This helps local communities come together and share the costs of an upgrade. You could see if Openreach’s Community Fibre Partnership programme could help upgrade your area’s broadband network. If the USO doesn’t work for you, there are a number of other schemes that could help you get connected to better broadband infrastructure.
