Improve Rural Broadband by making ISP's more accountable for poor Download Speed

Petition Details

Rural Broadband speeds in Rural areas (especially in East Anglia) are unacceptable. There is no incentive for Internet Service Providers to improve performance - (they get paid the full monthly fee whatever the download speed) - they are not accountable and need government intervention to improve.

Additional Information

In many rural areas (I live in Aldeby, Norfolk), rural business, farms, pubs, shops and private homes endure download speeds of less than >1mbps. In this day and age in our digital world this is disadvantaging rural business and communities. Our children are set school homework on-line and cannot access broadband to research it. Our businesses cannot operate efficiently and trade effectively, farming business need to operate on-line to embrace new technology - we demand swift action from MP's
