Brits Pay 3x Less Than US For Telcom Bundles

0 views

Britain edged out the US in broadband penetration for the first time in 2006, joining a host of other countries with better broadband access. It could have something to do with the fact that US households have to pay nearly three times as much.

Ofcom1 Gbps fiber connections for $215 per month, compared with Verizon's maximum 30 Mbps for $180 per month.

UK adults are also more avid social networkers than their European neighbors, with 40 percent logging in an average of 5.3 hours per month at social networking sites. This may also be the reason advertisers spend more money per person on internet advertising ($66) than any other country. In Britain, advertisers spend twice as much as France, Germany, and Italy combined.
