The Government has delayed delivering on its commitment to ensure that every UK home has access to broadband speeds of at least 2 megabits per second (mbps). The original target had been to achieve this by 2012, but this has been revised to the end of the current Parliament in 2015. There are in the region of 2 million homes that are not able to access broadband speeds of 2 megabits, and approximately 16,000 which have no access to broadband services at all.
