Reviewing the broadband Universal Service Obligation

The broadband Universal Service Obligation (USO) was launched in March 2020 and provides premises with the legal right to request a decent broadband service of at least 10 Megabits per second download and 1 Megabits per second upload subject to meeting certain eligibility criteria.

This consultation asks whether changes are required to the broadband USO to ensure that it stays up to date with the current technical standards.

If the government move ahead with any changes to the broadband USO a further consultation will take place on the specific nature of the changes.
