The BBC wanted the fee to rise to over £180 by the end of the settlement.

Instead, it will remain fixed at £159 until 1 April 2024.

That’s more money in the pockets of pensioners; in the pockets of families who are struggling to make ends meet.

More than 80% of premises in Northern Ireland can now access lightning-fast gigabit broadband. A huge milestone, well ahead of the rest of the UK.

Our national mission is to reach 85% gigabit-capable by 2025 - and Northern Ireland is well on its way to smashing that target.
