Falling Behind

Looking at these two graphs for broadband speed and price, the UK is falling behind not only world but European nations when it comes to overall connection speeds and how much broadband costs.
With more services moving to digital distribution and our ever increasing dependence on internet connections and services it’s critical that the UK’s infrastructure is improved over the next few years to give us a fast and reliable broadband service with a greater choice for the consumer.

In Japan they’re effectively getting LAN speeds. That’s just incredible. It’s almost as if the whole internet is on an external hard disk connected to your router.

I know. Amazing speeds. Web based disk space would be so convenient at those speeds. No need for local storage.
