Britain more business online than any other major economy. But when it comes to very high speed, the nation is lagging behind. Our connections are the fastest means 16 days in Europe.

It will offer fiber to the door asking for next year, but the price is likely to be around £ 1000 for facilities -. Too expensive for most households

Internet entrepreneur Boris Ivanovic said ultra high-definition television and other technologies will make the BT copper and hybrid fiber on the date when it is built.

? 1.3 billion in public funds were allocated to the broadband network in Britain. Meanwhile, the government committed 17 billion pounds for a high-speed rail line between London and Birmingham.

Ivanovic said:

Ivanovic started two Internet companies in the UK. Broadband was established in 2005, was sold to the mobile phone network O2 for £ 50m 18 months later. His new company, Hyperoptic, specializes in building fiber.

Without government intervention, the fiber to the home could become the preserve of the wealthy, exacerbating the gap between those who have Internet and those who did not.

census last year revealed that 5.7 million UK households had no connection with the Web. Others argue that the fiber in the world is a luxury that the taxpayer can not pay. We must focus our resources on getting down to a basic connection to all households.
