"In France and Germany they are laying fibre, in Japan they already have it. In Britain the average broadband speed is 3.6Mbps so what he [Andy Burnham] is talking about is getting half the current speed," he added.
So basically it's the government assuming people are morons.
It's not saying they'll pay for everyones connection, just have access to 2mb broadband, which i'd imagine most of the country does already.
Agree with the article, we should be going fibre and making it a lot quiker instead of investing in out of date stuff
