2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Mr. Mark Griffin:
No, we have not. There is a bit of confusion about that. We had 298 broadband connection points originally provided for in the contract during the course of year 1. A total of 47 withdrew and 22 were added to give 273. Currently, 247 are provided with high-speed connectivity.
We expect that the 273 will be completed over the next few weeks, and still within year 1, including 73 schools. A target has not been missed in terms of the delivery of the broadband connection points.
