The results from 842 respondents (polled in November - December 2010) to our latest monthly survey have revealed that a vast majority (91.8%) are concerned that the government is not doing enough to improve broadband access.

However, most do support its goal to make a minimum download speed of 2Mbps (Megabits per second) available to everybody by 2015 (Universal Service Commitment), yet 88.7% felt that the target speed of 2Mbps wouldn't be fast enough.

Is the government doing enough to improve UK broadband?
No - 91.8%
Yes - 8.1%

Do you support plans for a 2Mb minimum broadband speed for all by 2015?

Do you think a 2Mbps minimum is fast enough?
No - 88.7%
Yes - 11.2%

In the years to come 2Mbps could quickly begin to feel quite outdated and would not be able to keep up with modern demand. The USC also fails to consider other important aspects, such as upload speed and flexibility (usage allowances).

The current government should still be praised for staying with this issue during such a financially difficult climate. Still, some other countries are putting 2% of their entire GDP into improving broadband and next to this the UK plan appears to be dangerously underfunded.

This month's new survey simply asks for your thoughts on the speed and support of your existing broadband ISP and questions whether you plan to switch next year. Vote Here.
