Earlier this month, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ranked the UK in 21st place when looking at broadband speeds in 30 countries, placing it below European nations such as Portugal, Spain and Greece.
Commenting on the report, Edd Dawson, editor of broadband.co.uk, suggested that the lack of fast internet access in the UK is caused by insufficient support from the government.
'There is no joined-up thinking in this country when it comes to it, compared to others. It's not taken seriously by government,' he claimed.
Mr Dawson also said that none of the major political parties have included a commitment to rolling out super-fast broadband across the country, although he hopes this will improve next year.
The OECD report also said that Britain is 13th out of 30 countries in terms of broadband penetration levels.
