Today marks the beginning of broadband Britain.
Although the service will not at first be available to every part of the country, more than 7m homes and businesses will have access from this week. BT promises that the majority of Britain will be broadband capable by the end of 2001. We have all experienced difficulties in connecting to the internet and the world wide wait as pages take an age to download. It sounds like a revolution for the internet. Perhaps it is a revolution, but it won't happen overnight.
