Eight million UK homes now have access to full-fibre broadband, a record rise of three million since last year.
But fewer than a quarter of those have chosen to upgrade to a full-fibre package, regulator Ofcom’s annual Connected Nations report says.
Many could upgrade without paying more than they currently did, Ofcom said.
The number of upgrades was rising, with 750,000 homes moving to full-fibre services in 2021, but the rapid rollout meant take-up was likely to lag behind.
