A Set Back for Great Britain
This is the very interesting news which I came across in recent times. Great Britain one among the super powers in the world is lagging behind in broad band internet technology in Europe. UK lags behind countries such as Sweden, Norway, and Slovenia in to high-speed fibre-to-the-home broadband internet services. The country which tops the chart in the high-speed fibre-to-the-home broadband internet services has more than 10% of the connections which is the fastest type of broad band connections with average speed of 100Mbps. Over 2 million people in Europe have this connection but where as in UK not even have one per cent of people use such technology. The countries which are more than one percent are included in the ranking. The ranking was announced by the Fibre-To-The-Home Council at the Broadband World Forum in Paris. The council president revealed that by 2012 13million people will use this technology across Europe. As the rural business in UK is being suffocated by slow broad band services. The most pathetic study is more than 42% of people in UK are unable to access the internet at the speed of 2Mbps the speed which is pledged by the government. The rural business trading is terrible affected due to the low level speed of internet. This is a unbelievable truth which I came across recently.
This problem happened due to an attack in the Mediterranean Sea. The Broadband cable were cut down by a Ship and this created an Havoc.
This is really an embarrassment...
