Service Description: A consultation is currently being run in order to seek the level of interest in superfast broadband across the Island. The Isle of Wight Council has secured funding from Government to help pay for the installation of superfast broadband across the island. This will mean that the Island can have world class, leading edge communications and entertainment services. However, the funding can only be spent where there is real demand for superfast broadband and we want to spend the money wisely. By completing a short survey, you will help inform our plans for installing superfast broadband and bringing these advanced services to you.

Answer: It is thought that around 40% of the Islands population (30-50% of residential and non-residential premises) will be at risk of having no access to superfast services well beyond the initial stages of rollout. This largely rural population is clearly one of the hardest-to-reach core groups in high need of priority action.
