There are big variations in broadband provision across the UK, an expert has claimed.
Edd Dawson, editor of broadband.co.uk, commented that suggestions that this technology is "not fit for purpose" do not apply to the whole of Britain.
He said: "There are big variations in the technology that is provided to people with broadband, and it depends on who your provider is and where you live."
Mr Dawson explained that consumers, such as users of online telecoms services, living in areas serviced by Virgin Media's fibre network will receive a good quality broadband connection.
However, he added that those residing in rural regions may find that their broadband has to travel a long distance to reach them through copper wire, which could affect the performance of their internet.
Recently, Stephen Timms, the communications minister, claimed that 2Mbs is the minimum speed of broadband connection that consumers can expect to receive by 2012.
