"Avanti welcomes the government's recognition that there is still a very large population in the UK without access to reasonable quality broadband. The £530m pencilled in potentially to finance new projects in the next five years obviously goes nowhere near the £30bn cost of fibring all UK homes, but with the imminent arrival of HYLAS and its 10Mb satellite broadband available to every home in the UK, there are now cost effective options available to the consumer."
