I had a good chuckle at some of the comments made on BBC news website "your view" with respect to England apparently having slower broadband speeds then the rest of the world: link.

I felt the reporting was quite biased in taking the view that in England we have it bad, but to be honest, we don't have it that bad. The main complaints were that broadband was slower then it should be outside big cities, or even non-existent but if you move to a remote area in the Scottish highlands, you do it because you love the area not because you want fast broadband. I know we all want a perfect world, but why should telecommunications companies and the government spend money on getting faster broadband in these remote areas where there are very few people to make a valuable return on the investment? It would be a crazy view.

My opinion is that the people writing the article and making their negative comments, just don't know enough about the situation to understand that the law of physics is unacceptable.

The following comments should give you an idea of the people who are actually providing views and hopefully make you laugh!)


A technological scandal indeed that law of physics.... technological scandal indeed.
