THE words "superfast broadband" really makes my blood boil!
It is my pet peeve – how can internet providers say that they can give "super fast broadband" if they can't keep a reliable service in the first place?
I live in an area where the internet speed is shocking, the maximum I have ever seen the download speed was 1.1 megabyte per second (Mbps), which is below the Government's target of 2Mbps for 2015.
Other companies say they can get you a better deal on your internet, which is great but if they can't deliver then why say they can give a faster service? Why say it at all?
Or are they just after our money?
I use the internet to play games, chat with friends over Skype and Facebook like most people do, but as soon as another computer uses the internet, it just slows down and lags, we all know what lag means to me.
In other areas, such as London and Manchester, they have incredible broadband and 4G connectivity with up to 10mbps and it is still rising.
Grimsby could do with some of this technology and innovation. One thing is for certain – Grimsby and the surrounding small villages could do with a rapid change from our current slow speeds that we have to live with, even if it means digging up roads to fit fibre optic cables, I am more than happy to make that sacrifice.
