The average UK family is spending over £500 per year on digital TV, broadband and home phone services, which make up a significant proportion of household bills.

The Tory party says that it will install "nationwide super-fast broadband" funded out of the BBC licence fee, which will deliver speeds of 100Mbps to the "majority" of homes by 2017.

Over half of British broadband customers are wasting hundreds of pounds a year by paying for a broadband package that exceeds their needs, a survey has revealed.

BT has kick started a broadband price war by announcing a super-fast 40 megabit per second service for less than £20 a month, undercutting arch rival Virgin.

Businesses and consumers in the UK have access to the 26th fastest broadband speeds in the world, a new study has indicated.
