Pulse Fibre has welcomed the Scottish Government’s recent legislation requiring all new homes to be gigabit broadband-ready, calling it “a vital step forward” in ensuring homes are equipped for the demands of modern living.
Broadband operators should use existing infrastructure when providing fibre upgrades in the wake of the Telecommunications Infrastructure (Leasehold Property) Act (TILPA), says InCoax.
New homes in England will be built with gigabit broadband connections and providers will be able to get faster broadband into blocks of flats following new laws the government has brought into force.
The Government is aiming to cut broadband bills for low-income households through a new service run by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) which allows ISPs to verify whether customers are eligible for extra financial support.
