Should the government provide free broadband to all UK homes and businesses?

No, only to those who cannot afford it.

Homes = Yes. Businesses = No.

No, but those under a low income threshold should receive it free or heavily subsidised

Only to homes during COVID lockdowns for work and school

Yes to all businesses as it is impossible to run a business without the internet, and homes based on circumstances

No, but 4g should be accessible now where ever you are. It’s ridiculous that we can’t get 4g everywhere but yet we supposedly went to the moon in 1969

This should not be given for free to businesses as it is a tallied business cost, but should be provided to households where children are living and in education

Access to the Internet is a requirement for nearly every aspect of modern life and the proposed cost of doing so is miniscule by the standards of public spending; a national broadband service makes sense for numerous reasons.

Yes, it can be a basic package available to all but households and businesses can pay to go private and get faster speeds

Yes, provide free broadband through a nationalised BT but also allow the option for internet users to pay for a privately-owned internet provider

Nationalise the broadband providers and provide free broadband to lower income people and start up / not for profit or SME businesses

I don’t think it’s important enough to be part of a manifesto. Broadband is a £20-£30 monthly expenditure.

yes, but at what cost to the government and tax payers? this is an ideal that is only imaginable for the UK at this time.

If the broadband is bought by the government, it will be owned by the government, so there is potential that the way we use the Internet will be controlled by the government, so no!

Yes, but for those who cannot afford it by regular means. The internet is sadly required for a lot of things in this current climate, and many are missing out.

Many people are capable of paying for their broadband. However, the internet is an essential resource and lower income households should be provided with it. Full fibre broadband should also be extended to all regions with government mandate.

No but processes should recognise that not all households have internet access and allow for different ways of doing business

They should ensure high speed broadband is available at an affordable coat to all households and businesses

Broadband should only be provide for free to those who are unable to afford it, either as a monthly cost or direct benefit. The broadband being received should be adequate enough for them to go online and access public services and websites, but not necessarily to support streaming or gaming (although, most broadband is at least 20 mbps, which would allow streaming). The person receiving free broadband should be able to pick their provider and should be able to log complaints directly, as if they were the customer.

No, but there should be universally accessible public facilities like libraries to provide internet access

Yes, it's increasingly becoming an essential utility that facilitates access to opportunities and resources, and increasing access will have a positive effect on the economy

No, but cap costs of broadband similar to energy, and provide incentives for companies to provide coverage in low density population areas.

Access to the internet is vital, however we have more pressing matters at hand. This should be further down the line.

Yes, but have a choice between paying out for a privately-owned internet provider or pubibly-owned free broadband or both

Yes but have a nominal charge.

Yes but only the cheapest broadband that gives the basic necessities to check emails, and surf the internet as opposed to being able to 4k stream multiple devices.

It should be subsidised for those on lower incomes because everyone should have access to broadband

No, but the government should subsidise infrastructure improvements to increase access

No, but invest in providing availability to all households then subsidise it to a low rate to increase overall productivity

Yes, but only if the cost is reasonable. Also implement it gradually to prevent immediate expensive spending.

Should provide to low income families.

Yes, but only to those who cannot afford their own

No. If the government provides it, the government can use it as it wants for data mining / profiling / eves dropping

Yes if the value of having full-fiver broadband increases enough to warrant giving it for free by 2030 and if it will have benefits for the economy

No, but there should be adequate public service open 24hrs with broadband to provide the services to house that can’t get it

Yes but only to homes

No but fibre should be ubiquitous at 'postage stamp' rares.

A new "access to communication broadband scheme" should be introduced for exceptionally vulnerable and disabled people

Households yes but businesses no

No, but I think the government could provide financial assistance to families or businesses that genuinely can't afford the full price of broadband. In a perfect world I'd like to believe giving everyone free broadband is wise but the reality is it's not especially with the UKs current economy, we can't afford it

Fibre broadband infrastructure should be nationalised & universal for a small tax replacing home phone bills.

Possibly in the future when we can afford it.

Holders of house worth more money than the people in punlise publics billion dollars of increase united states dollars planet worths

No, government to give free broadband access to benefits claimants, or heavily discounted packages

No, but provide it free to people on benefits

No, but lower the broadband cost

Yes, but make it a process gradual process to help save money

Only if it can be done for the cost at which the Labour party says it can be done for

Only to those on benefits , low income families and the extreme Vulnerable groups.
