The UK is a nation of net-addicts, with 76 percent of Brits admitting they can’t live without the web.

Now, switch the word “the web” for “electricity” or “water”. Sounds stupid, doesn’t it? The sooner we accept that the internet is the information utility, and ranks up there with electricity, the sooner we can all move on.

And get fibre-optic to our homes.
