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

No but provide it to UK homes that live in areas that don't have the proper structure. Also provide more access, improve the overall structure.

Unless they can recoup money from elsewhere this will be too expensive, however they could offer a middle ground of subsidised broadband.

I think low income family across the UK, should be given free full fibre broadband, it is an essential in this day and age

Yes, but only a basic internet for communicating. You should still be able to have faster, private options, with additional benefits.

It should be made available to all, using Wibre if necessary, but people should pay with support with the disadvantaged...

Those that are in areas which broadband speed is slow should recieve standard free wifi, and if they want to upgrade to faster speeds they can do that at extra cost

Yes, but only for families with school aged children, university students and those in reciept of benefits

No but the government needs to invest in developing infrastructure to ensure every household has access to full fiber broadband

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

Yes, but only to those who cannot afford their own

No, but free public access to broadband provided by the government should be available in all libraries, schools, medical facilities and dedicated cyber hubs to ensure accessibility for all

If we can afford it without negatively effecting the economy and still focusing on other important stuff then yes

No, but the government should force providers rapidly to roll out full fibre to the majority of the country

Government should first check what is the actual profit from new tax and then gradually introduce buying out BT and for example offer broadband cost reimbursement.

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

No, but broadband should be nationliased

Free broadband for all UK homes

No, this will give leverage to further censorship and a higher state-run media meritocracy

Free provision for low income families and those on income support

Yes but only to homes

Perhaps when the economy is in a better state.

Only to those whom can not afford it and it’s use is essential

Nationalise broadband to create an output driven service and subsidise broadband for this who are less able to afford it

Yes but should be means tested

Nationalize an ISP

The government should provide access to internet for all, whether directly or by outsourcing privately, as many areas do not have access and this limits work and educational opportunities. But the monthly cost should be paid by user, like a mobile phone bill or electricity.

No but it should be free for those receiving benefits.

Yes, but only to those deemed to be in the lower socio economic bracket

No but give grants for low income families.

Not free but supplement the cost for those less well off to ensure good access due to the study and work requirements of Internet access.

Only to low income to assist children's learning/job seeking

Yes, for business, children homes and low income families, or have somewhere where people can access internet

No, broadband providers should use some of their profits to fund broadband access to the most vulnerable

They should certainly subsidise broadband for the poorest and most isolated

Free or subsidised broadband should be available to low income households

No, it should be covered by Universal Credit.

It’s a nice idea in economic boom times but we do not live in an economic boom currently.

Small Businesses and poor people

No, it should be means-tested for households that need it

Provide to those who cannot afford it

Yes but only for those on low income

No but more should be done to make sure people have public access to free WiFi in local libraries or community centres.
