Answer
The Broadband Connection Voucher Scheme was managed and funded by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport working in conjunction with local councils. My Department did not therefore gather the information requested on supplier packages. DCMS has published early analysis on the scheme website at https://www.connectionvouchers.co.uk/schemefacts/.
