Development of broadband Britain is “stagnant,” said a blogger, who points to a new super-fast line that connects France and Germany as an example of what can be achieved.
Although the Internet continues to affect more and more facets of society, it risks getting bogged down with data and unable to increase the speed currently available, “said Jeff Hecht writes for New Scientist.
However, British experts broadband need to look further across the Channel for inspiration, where 900 kilometers of fiber optical line reaches from Paris to Frankfurt – offers residents of France and Germany “ultra fast “broadband.
Mr. Hecht wrote: “This is a foretaste of a ridge of high-speed Internet with sufficient capacity to satisfy bandwidth applications hunger in the future.”
Explaining the problems encountered in other parts of the world – like Britain – currently, it says that the Internet bubble in the mid-1990s led to fiber optic cable being laid in mass.
New users and changes even if – such as downloading videos, streaming audio and video file sharing and cloud computing – have expanded capacity to the limit.
This may soon lead to performance degradation by broadband.
The good news for users of British broadband is that the British government is already plans in place to revitalize the country’s markets super-fast internet.
A broadband tax of 50 pence per month per household will raise funds for new, state-of-the-art fiber optics to perform, while the government prepares to invest 1 billion pounds in a broadband network.
