Recent research has broadband users shows that 44 percent of customers getting only half of their promise nedladdningshastighet ISP s. Research carried out 43,000 surveys, 61% of those who choose an ISP for broadband speeds they promised. The problem is caused by ISPs advertising nedladdningshastighet maximum possible, but more often than not, the speed of broadband is only possible in select areas.

UK mobile broadband network responsible for the settlement of millions of users. This is largely achieved by using the verses of the traditional copper had never designed to cope with and handle high-speed data transfer. Britain is seriously behind the world when it comes to broadband speeds. BT investing £ 10bn to try to update the UK networks but it seems it may take many years may get the world leaders like Japan and France.

We are a nation of fast download of drugs, including phones that download number one choice, followed by games, movies, and pod casts. And ever increasing number of people downloading to increase the amount of data, speed is the number one reason that when choosing their ISP.

Rob Barnes, head of broadband at price comparison site, commented that many people only reach half of their level of register, 500Mb typical movie may take four hours of downloading, rather than 60-90 minutes. If re-download a podcast of 50Mb, you d expect to be downloaded in 10 minutes if you use the 8MB line, with less than broadband speeds this can wait until half an hour.

If the download culture grows, broadband speeds become more important. Thankfully, Ofcom has decided to question the six major step Internet Service Provider, seeking to announce broadband speeds and especially how people are receiving. From this consultation, service providers should be required to provide a clear, transparent advice on broadband speeds people will be possible to test, as the O2 broadband, as part of the process when new signatures for transactions. In the meantime, I d recommend anyone who want to download large files, like movies, to select the connection or faster 16MB and unlimited download capacity. Providers such as Be Broadband, Virgin Media and Sky Broadband all offer this.
