Uswitch comments on Government plans to improve broadband infrastructure

Commenting on today’s budget and Government plans to improve broadband infrastructure, Ewan Taylor-Gibson, broadband expert at Uswitch.com says: “George Osborne’s ambition to improve broadband infrastructure across the UK is welcome news – especially for those who, even in 2015, are blighted by a poor or non-existent broadband connection.

“The proposals are an important step towards making broadband, now regarded as an essential service, available to all, rather than most.

“Some people in the furthest reaches of the UK are being left behind in the race for a digital Britain. They are missing out on the advantages that a reliable internet connection brings, including all the cheaper services and deals found online.

“Further steps could still be taken to make the availability and benefits of superfast and ultra-fast broadband clear, so that everyone in the UK has both the ability and the confidence to get online.

“If the Government’s plan is to succeed in the hardest to reach areas, broadband needs to be affordable, especially for those who are isolated or vulnerable.”
