In terms of <strong>Next Generation Access<\/strong> (NGA) broadband coverage, both sat at around 71%+ in 2015 and that compares with 90.5% in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>But the crucial caveat here is with the technology mix. In 2015 the EU calculated that the UK&#8217;s fixed line NGA coverage was predominantly delivered by a mix of cable <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-113 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/docsis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"docsis\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_cable.php\">DOCSIS<\/a> (47%), <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-120 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"fttc\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_cable.php\">FTTC<\/a>\/VDSL (79%) and only 1% on the most future proof <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-110 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"fttp\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_fibre_optic.php\">FTTP<\/a>\/H.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison <strong>Romania<\/strong> has 14% covered by VDSL, 58% via <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-110 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"fttp\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_fibre_optic.php\">FTTP<\/a> and 29% on Cable (67% are also covered by WiMAX wireless). Finally, <strong>Bulgaria<\/strong> delivers 0% VDSL, 28% FTTP, 61% Cable and 65% via WiMAX.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, whether or not the UK is &#8220;<em>behind<\/em>&#8221; Bulgaria and Romania depends upon how Corbyn chooses to define &#8220;<em>high speed broadband<\/em>&#8221; and whether or not speed is more important than total service coverage. Not to mention other factors, such as affordability etc. As usual we&#8217;re not going to get that sort of detail in a set of political commitments.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly the proposal to spend <strong>\u00a3500 billion<\/strong> on infrastructure is most welcome although, as you&#8217;d expect from any politician vying for office, there&#8217;s precious little detail on where this money would come from (our economy isn&#8217;t exactly in a good state right now) and how much of it would go towards broadband.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Jeremy Corbyn MP said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;George Osborne cut government investment. The investment that provides a platform for people and businesses to thrive. The Tory government cut research spending by \u00a31 billion in real terms. How on earth are we going to become a strong modern economy if we cut science funding? They cut subsidies in renewables, the energy of the future. Germany and the US are pouring money into this.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we have announced a National Investment Bank to help channel \u00a3500 billion of investment over the next decade &#8230; We will invest in the high speed broadband businesses need and stop languishing behind Bulgaria and Romania.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Corbyn&#8217;s full list of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jeremyforlabour.com\/10_pledges\" target=\"_blank\">10 pledges has been outlined<\/a> on his personal website, although he&#8217;s got quite a steep hill to climb before being in a position to actually implement them and the general election isn&#8217;t until 2020. Otherwise we&#8217;re going to steer well clear of the toxic party politics side of things because that could easily send our readers into a terminal coma, much as it would when talking about any other political party.<\/p>\n<p>As a side note the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ippr.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Institute for Public Policy Research<\/a> (IPPR) has also called on the Government to boost its public spending in order to protect against the Brexit downturn, with calls for this to focus upon digital and physical infrastructure (broadband, transport etc.).
