Data from broadband provider Compare Fibre in 2021 revealed that while the UK boasts a 96.8% availability of superfast 30 Mbps broadband, there is a significant disparity in full fibre broadband access across the country. Recent reports indicate a significant improvement in the accessibility and coverage of full fibre broadband throughout the UK. The annual Metrics for the UK independent network sector report reveals that alternative network providers have experienced substantial growth in 2023, rapidly deploying their networks across various premises.

These differences in how Member States translate the NIS2 Directive into their National Cyber laws lead to a fragmented approach, ultimately weakening the overall cybersecurity of the single market.
