This report is rubbish. They been _very_ selective about the countries they
compare the UK with. Calling the UK costly, when (per megabit) they can only
cite 2 countries that are cheaper is disingenuous.
They have also completely failed to take into account the average wages
in different countries: of course services in the UK cost more than in most
countries, we earn more than most other countries.

If you want really bad (expensive, slow, unreliable, low-coverage) broadband
go to most other countries in europe: greece, spain, portugal, italy ......

This is a classic case of writing a headline that panders to the disgruntled
segment of the population that reads the telegraph, then cherry-picking
a bunch of unrepresentative and misleading data to try to prop it up.

Ignore them, they don't know what they're talking about
