Extra cost of high speed broadband is something most users would pay for

Many users have agreed that access to a high-speed broadband connection these days is a very important facility according to a recently released survey.

The Digital Britain report that was recently released by the government advised of its intention to provide everyone in the UK with 2Mbps broadband access by 2012 and went on to provide plans of deploying a super fast fibre optic broadband network to a significant proportion of the UK.

The importance of these plans to implement high-speed broadband service to many people in the UK has now been highlighted by a recent survey.

A total of 774 recipients took park in the survey, which was carried out by a popular broadband new website, and it was found that 58.6 users were not happy with the broadband connection speed that they currently got from their provider. The site concluded from its results A further 55.2 user said that their would be more than happy to pay for a faster broadband connection as they found the service to be critical to the running of their daily lives.

A quote from the popular website said “[This] suggests that many existing services still fail to meet expectations despite the fact that many would be willing to pay more for something a lot faster.”

A total of 32 percent of the recipients that were surveyed said that their broadband connection ran in excess of 10Mbps, whilst just over half of the users said that they were connecting at a broadband connection speed of roughly 8Mpbs.

These two figure compare will against the remaining 15 percent of users that said they were connecting on speeds of less than 2Mbps, which is the current goal that the government have now set.
