Comments on: Government-commissioned review says Government shouldn’t spend money shocker http://www.pcpro.co.uk/blogs/2008/09/12/government-commissioned-review-says-government-shouldnt-spend-money-shocker/ Blogging in the real world Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:01:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Ian http://www.pcpro.co.uk/blogs/2008/09/12/government-commissioned-review-says-government-shouldnt-spend-money-shocker/comment-page-1/#comment-8676 Ian Fri, 12 Sep 2008 22:29:17 +0000 http://www.pcpro.co.uk/blogs/?p=3237#comment-8676 Not the 1st time the Government & OFCOM appear to have not looked outside of major cities: the same thing has happened with the digital switchover, while Digital UK are more than happy to talk up the success of the switchover they clearly haven't spoken to people in Cumbria (like I have). It's disappointing that this attitude has crossed to broadband: a friend in Stockholm is hooked up at 100Mbps at the equivalent of £15 right now, so why hasn't that happened in London? Looks like I'll have to move to Scandinavia if speeds don't increase soon...
