The Government has committed £830m of public money over the next seven years to ensure superfast broadband connections will be rolled out to every community. Some rural areas are still having to put up with slow broadband speeds, with an album taking up to 45 minutes to download in some places, compared to a matter of seconds in big cities.
The village of Farningham in Kent has the slowest internet speeds in Britain, according to comparison website Top10.com. Britain's average broadband speed is 6.86Mbps (megabits per second), but Farningham's average was 1.30Mbps, meaning it would take 12 hours to download a film.
The Prince of Wales has complained that upland areas are being left in "broadband deserts".
Virgin Media has partnered with hundreds of independent estate agents to list whether or not properties are connected to its high-speed cable broadband network. It has also joined forces with housebuilder Persimmonn to build-in its fibre-optic cables to new homes.
