Earlier this week, prime minister Gordon Brown said the government is committed to making high-speed internet access available to every home in the UK.
Commenting on the news, Eclipse Internet proposition manager Paul Richens said efforts need to focus on ensuring that areas which have poor broadband access, such as Cornwall, are brought up to par with the rest of the country.
He added: 'We shouldn't forget the possibilities this opens up for businesses. It's not just about saving money by allowing efficient home-working or reducing call costs.'
Mr Richens explained that the superfast internet will allow British firms to access a range of digital services and applications which are currently beyond their reach because of poor broadband speeds.
This month, the Department for Business Innovation and Skills announced the formation of Broadband Delivery UK to ensure every home in the country has connections of at least two Mbps by 2012.
