Broadband as essential as Electricity and Water
Communications consumer research panel have announced that 73% of Britons claim a fast connection, and access to it, is as important as electricity and water. The survey which showed these results also showed that most consumers believe that those who don’t have broadband are losing out as more companies become web based.
As a result, the research panel have said that there is demand for broadband to be universal so that everyone has access to it, and the government should help those who either cant afford it or find it difficult / impossible to get it in their area.
