Ofcom Report Launched
Dec 5, 2015This week saw the launch of Ofcom’s Connected Nations 2015 report showing good progress on the availability and take up of communications services and just how crucial they are to our personal and working lives. Some interesting facts and stats including why 10Mb/s (the new USO) is the minimum that households need. Ultrafast broadband (more than 300 mb/s) is now available in 500,000 homes and 4G mobile reaches 70% – we can but dream!
Interestingly, the UK has the best coverage and take up of SFBB, the highest coverage of fast mobile services and some of the cheapest prices. Those of us living in rural areas just need to make sure we don’t get left behind. Our SFBB (even when we get it) could well seem slow and inadequate in a few years’ time.
