Internet Generation Picks New Home by Broadband Speed

Interesting report from Top 10 Broadband re. just how important broadband speed is for prospective tenants and home buyers.
 
Great news if you're in (or moving to) an area that BT is targeting for it's new Openreach fibre-optic provision.  BT is set to more than double the availability of its fibre services over the next few years, in an effort to ensure around 2.5 million UK homes and businesses are using Fibre-to-the-Premises technology.

Speeds of up to 100Mb will be available through the service and it will be able to carry even faster connection rates in the future as BT hopes to catch up with speeds to be offered by Virgin Media.

Virgin Media is almost half way through its 12 month consumer trial of 200Mb broadband.

- Note to self: ask the webteam if we can integrate broadband speed testing for specific properties /postcodes onto our Young London Estate Agency website!

  2. I like the note to self. It sounds like a very useful feature, and one that prospective tenants could start to expect.

    Go ahead, set the trend :-)
