Well we’ve heard it all before from various different news sites, blogs, twitters but now even the House of Lords has criticised the lack of progress between urban and rural broadband delivery.

Britain’s average Broadband speed was clocked at 5Mbps in the previous quarter, but this was fast enough to see the UK ranked only 25th in the world. BritORA claimed broadband connections in smaller towns and villages can often be so slow that some websites are completely unusable – a scenario it described as “disastrous” for local businesses.
