The government plans to provide every community in the UK with access to super-fast broadband by 2015.
Private companies will deliver broadband to two thirds of the UK. Public money will be spent on bringing fibre optic internet to rural areas.
While the government doesn’t define the minimum speed super-fast broadband will provide, a recent study by the regulator Ofcom revealed that fewer than 1 per cent of UK homes have a super-fast broadband connection, considered to be at least 24Mbps.
