The UK falls behind Latvia and Bulgaria in Broadband terms

A recent report by Oxford University's Säid Business School and the University of Oviedo's Department of Applied Economics has said the UK are 25th in a list of 66 countries in Broadband speeds, falling behind Bulgaria and Latvia in this list. In a world run on data. The top 3 were unsurprisingly S.Korea, Japan and Hong Kong.

And yet by the latest World Bank figures the UK has the 6th largest GDP whilst Bulgaria and Latvia have the 71st and 80th respectively.Maybe increasing broadband saturation doesn’t yet pay off in basic economic terms...

But having slower bandwidth certainly does not help economic growth. India is twelth in the list and do you not feel that there economy has been assisted by bandwidth. I even here companies like thompson reuters even have staff out there?
