Broadband penetration: Britain 50%, Ireland 10%-14%

The most recent figures from Comreg show Ireland’s broadband penetration figures at a woeful 14.2% compared to Offtel figures that say 50% of British households have a high speed internet connection.

To redress the balance somewhat Comreg has apparently decided to include mobile broadband subscribers in its next round of statistics.

So we’re officially well behind on the broadband front. Woeful, isn’t it? But then those of us in rural Ireland already know that!
