There is a reason for the digital divide not mentioned here

BT still has a monopoly in many areas, even in the sourth east. There are no wide spread fibre optics networks available anywhere. Because of BT failing to keep up with current technical standards there are no decent broadband services for businesses either in many places. All our web servers are therefore still located abroad.

ADSL really is yesterday's technology, using old coppler wires. It's time to dig up the roads and put in the fibre optics contry wide. Don't call ADSL broadband, it really is only like a slow one-way road, nothing more.
