I've heard these grandiose announcements over the last 15 years where it is already known that rural areas have rubbish broadband. Plans were announced, huge amounts of money were given to telcos , usually BT, and nothing happens in the rural areas but towns and cities get super fast fibre.
The telcos do not want to upgrade Comms infrastructure in rural areas as they are invariably sparsely populated so the profits don't exist. But they're happy to take the tax-payers money though.
With the onset of mobile phones, wired/fibre solutions become increasingly expensive and less likely in such areas and we're still waiting for a decent signal.
And so it goes on.

An investment savings fund built up over ones working life to provide an income in retirement.

Mmm earlier it said £94, the extracted body text said "X and X" and now it's £19.

Definitely needs a TL;DR.
