- Ofcom表示，英国80%的家庭现在可以接入千兆宽带，全光纤覆盖率达到62%。
- 尽管网络建设迅速，农村和低密度地区的覆盖差距仍然存在。
事件：Ofcom新数据显示，英国在实现全国千兆宽带覆盖方面取得了重大里程碑。
根据Ofcom最新的《连接国家》报告，英国80%的家庭现在可以接入千兆宽带，高于1月份的78%。全光纤覆盖率达到62%，较上一季度的60%有所提升。这一进展主要得益于Openreach、Virgin Media O2以及CityFibre等小型替代网络的铺设。尽管取得进展，仍有约1%的英国住所——约28.9万处房产——无法接入Ofcom定义的“合格宽带”，即下载速度至少10Mbps，上传速度至少1Mbps。
政府于2021年启动的“千兆项目”计划也在资助向难以覆盖地区的扩展。截至2025年3月，已授予Quickline和Wessex Internet等供应商约13亿美元的合同，为农村地区提供高速互联网。

为何重要
这一进展反映了英国宽带升级努力的显著势头，但也凸显了城乡之间正在出现的数字鸿沟。城市中，高速基础设施由多家提供商提供，而农村社区往往依赖单一网络，甚至完全没有网络。这种差距具有经济影响，尤其对欠发达地区的远程工作者、小企业和学生而言。 另见: FCC 以许可限制支持光纤建设者.
Ofcom的数据发布之际，政府正致力于到2030年实现全国千兆宽带覆盖。然而，仍有20%的家庭无法接入千兆宽带——其中大部分位于低密度地区——因此铺设速度必须加快。今年早些时候，INCA（独立网络合作协会）警告称，繁文缛节和资金延迟可能会减缓对农村覆盖至关重要的小型宽带企业的扩展。
英国并非唯一努力解决宽带公平问题的国家。欧盟的“数字十年”目标包括到2030年实现普遍的千兆接入，德国和法国也在着力通过公私合作缩小农村差距。英国目前的发展轨迹令人鼓舞，但要实现长期目标，还需要持续的投资和明确的监管。
