UK officials have pledged to meet a new goal to raise broadband speeds. By the year 2033, they promise to bring fiber broadband to every home in the UK. At the halfway point in 2025, fiber, which is faster than copper, will be available in 15 million households, the government claims.

Fiber connections are more consistent, faster, and more affordable than copper connections, but it’s also ineffective to have a hybrid mix of both fiber and copper. In order to attempt to accomplish this lofty goal, the government is ordering that new homes be built with fiber connections, and it’s also investing £3 billion to £5 billion to assist companies to bring fiber to rural parts.
