100 Mbit/s not deployed for 7 years

The UK will be lagging behind most of Europe if the current trends continue as they are, this is according to research carried out by the non profit making Fibre to the Home Council (FttH). Who say that these high speed services will reach the early UK adopters some ten years after Sweden, five years later than France and four years later than Poland.

To come to this conclusion the FttH have used a well known theory called Nielsen’s Law, this is where the calculations of internet speed can be predicted over a period of time. So in this case will be fifty per cent per year and multiplying seven and half times after five years. But the main connections are still forecasted to be around two to three years behind those fastest connections.

Whereas countries like France and Sweden have managed to surpass this law, with Sweden being the European leader in super fast internet provision. But the UK has in fact fallen in line with the law meaning that the prediction at the current rate would be correct, unless there is some significant change.
