## Description

Ofcom has collected and published information regarding the performance of UK fixed broadband connections since 2008\.

Any contract\(s\) awarded following the conclusion of the tender process will be for an initial duration of two years\. At Ofcom's absolute discretion, the contract may be extended for up to three further periods of up to twelve months each
