It is worth spending a little time on this site (if you are interested) just to see how other nations are performing in the broadband stakes. However, if you are a UK resident be prepared for more bad news...
Despite Europe having the highest average download speed of the 6 inhabited continents the UK is 40th in the table with an average of 5.10 MBit/s (that is actually higher than I would have expected but must be skewed by some of the inner city rates offered by BT & Virgin). In the upload stakes the UK is 61st (just 0.68 MBit/s).
That is dismal (although the US fares little better) but when married to the news I posted last night from the Heavy Reading report (that the UK is falling further behind in the NGA stakes) should give cause for very serious concern.
If we can't do it for ourselves at least do it for the next generation who will suffer even more than us. I need say no more.
