As someone currently marooned in my residence secondaire in a very beautiful part of France, I can only say that I wish UK internet speeds were available here.  My Orange broadband connect is too slow to allow even short videos to be downloaded.

We were promised "fibre" a year ago. I can only imagine that the fibre will turn out to be a ball of string and that we shall have to provide our own cocoa tins ...
