Average National Broadband Speed

EDM number 542 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 21/01/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Internet and cybercrime.

That this House calls on the Government to take action following the investigation by Ofcom that found a fifth of United Kingdom homes to be receiving less than 25 per cent. of the broadband capability being paid for; notes with concern that the United Kingdom is significantly behind the leading broadband-capable countries such as Japan, that provides an average of 94 megabits per second (mbps) compared to the United Kingdom's current average of 3.6 mbps; and further calls on all internet service providers to do more to meet the needs of their customers by explaining clearly what speeds they can expect, particularly in rural areas, and by ensuring that their networks meet consumers' increasing demand for higher speed broadband.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
