We thought the UK was doing alright with the broadband speeds but after checking this BBC article out we felt all inadequate. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
South Korea have charged ahead as the leaders in the world at providing their population with the fast broadband with their current rate 12 Megabits per second (Mbps), compared to the UK’s 2Mbps (pathetic...we know!) , and are aiming to invest £19billion to hike up their rate to 1,000 Mbps by 2012. Er, thats amazing, this means that you can download a 45 minute music album in 0.05 seconds or War and Peace in 0.002 seconds. This serious investment into broadband will put South Korea light-years ahead of the rest if the world when it comes to internet technology and consumer demand for high speed access to the internet.
As a creative digital design agency, Higher Ground Creative would love to be able to have access to such a fast internet connection-we can only hope that one day we will!
In the meantime, anyone fancy relocating to South Korea?
