The Suffolk County Council have promised their constituents faster broadband by the end of the year. The pledge was aimed at those who still rely on dial-up connections, most of whom reside in the rural parts of the county.

But with Council leader Mark Bee claiming that in some cases the connection speeds were slower than a dire 60kbs, how important is fast broadband?

The average broadband speed of the Suffolk region is cited as 5Mbps. That’s 1.7Mbps slower than the British average. To put things into further context, the British average itself is 37th in the world broadband speed test!
