However, while 95% of Europeans now allegedly have access to a fixed broadband connection (100% in the UK, if you can believe that), the vast majority of Europe is still a long way from mass market adoption of superfast services.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2012-internet-statistics\/eu_uk_broadband_speed_2012.gif\" alt=\"eu_uk_broadband_speed_2012\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Apparently almost half (48 %) of all fixed broadband connections within the EU provide speeds of <strong>10Mbps+<\/strong>, while the share of all fixed lines delivering speeds of 30Mbps+ has risen from 5.1 % to nearly 8.5 % in a year. Sadly superfast connections of at or above <strong>100Mbps<\/strong> remain almost nonexistant but have nearly doubled from 0.8% to 1.3%.<\/p>\n<p>As for the UK specifically, the January 2012 <strong>penetration rate of fixed broadband<\/strong> has grown by just 0.1% over the past year to reach 31.7% of the population (EU average 27.7%). Some 73.1% of fixed lines provide speeds of 10Mbps+, 5.5% of lines provide speeds of 30Mbps+ and just 0.1% can deliver speeds equal to or above 100Mbps.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>The\u00a0EC&#8217;s Vice President, Neelie Kroes, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Europeans are hungry for digital technologies and more digital choices, but governments and industry are not keeping up with them. This attachment to 20th century policy mindsets and business models is hurting Europe\u2019s economy. It\u2019s a terrible shame. We are shooting ourselves in the foot by under-investing.
