Scrap the High Speed 2 Plans in favour of rolling out a true national fibre optic broadband network (FTTP/FTTH)

Additional Information

The plans for the HS2 (High Speed 2) rail project should be completely scrapped in favour of developing a national true Fibre Optic broadband network to make the UK one of the fastest and best connected countries in the world with a future proof technology in place.

South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Latvia are the top 5 fastest connected countries in the world today. The UK is ranked 17th currently. The government is always going on about strengthening the economy. Estimates for a full UK FTTP/FTTH/FTTB are around £16-£22bn which would mean there would still be money left over to spend on other proposed projects to help benefit the UK as a whole rather than just specific areas.
