Petition Action

A standard internet speed of 24 megabits per second (Mbps) for the UK.

Petition Details

In the 21st Century our lives are dependent on the internet; while in Dorset, Eng we have to depend on 0.64 Mbps download. This is humiliatingly far behind other nations' and insufficient to even stream a film. Therefore, we propose a minimum speed of 24 Mbps that will ensure fair speeds for the UK.

Additional Information

Here are some examples of the poor speeds from across the UK:
