Approximately 99 per cent of the UK has access to broadband at a speed of at least at 512kbps


Entire chunks of Carrickfergus and Downpatrick alone are on dial-up, so I can only imagine what the rest of the UK is like :?

but the 2mbps connections mooted would have allowed some use of next-generation services, such as the BBC iPlayer.


I wish to God websites would define next-gen, especially if it's something we're all using now...
