will some citizens, who already are failed, continue to be left with very slow broadband, while the lucky ones will rush ahead with 100Mbgs?

i would argue for the universal human right to broadband, so that this provision is available to all, wherever one lives in the UK….broadband is a utility, not a luxury.
