A uk broadband provider has announced the launch of a new 30mb Broadband package coupled with the promise that customer will experience download speeds of 30mb, avoiding what they describe as the dreaded speed lottery, a bold promise that will undoubtedly undergo rigorous testing by the hoards of broadband reviewers.
Yet the true critics will be those at home putting it through its paces and the question the average consumer will asking themselves is do I need a constant 30mb download speed?
In the provider's press release they claim that more and more of us are using data hungry tablets and smart phones and whilst there is no doubt that recent online trends have lent to more users using up bandwidth to watch videos and download large files.
So has the average family home turned into a scene from the Jetson's?
And do we really need 30mb download speeds to surf smoothly?
Let's take an average home with two adults and two children, in the most extreme circumstances it is not beyond the realms of impossibility for every member of the family to have a device that connects to the homes WiFi, be it a games console, a laptop a smart phone or even a MP3 player all of which could be running at once slowing internet speeds down to a snail's pace.
Putting even more pressure on the already stretched bandwidth is changing internet trends, with more and more watching films and TV shows online, downloading music and gaming online all of this puts added pressure on our average family's broadband deals.
What's more all this pressure is being put on an internet connection which is performing well below its advertised speed, something I won't go into now but it has been a bone of contention for quite a while now.
So it seems in 2011 we are putting more pressure on our current internet connection than ever before, and what's more most of us don't even realise that we are doing it.
So will the provider be coming to the rescue with its super fast 30mb broadband which will pretty much have a constant download speed of around 30mb?
If their press release is to be believed then super fast affordable broadband is now available and it's not as elusive as 50mb virgin broadband.
Will it live up to the bold promises in its press release only time and consumer reviews can tell, but I'm defiantly hoping that the new package means we can all live in a world where WiFi enabled devices can connect in harmony without having to get sky sports.
