A new survey commissioned by broadband comparison website Broadband Genie has found the majority (62%) believe slow broadband puts you at a disadvantage in society. 

Moreover, just 13% feel the government has done enough to get rural areas connected to faster broadband.

The survey found a third (34%) of rural users feel their broadband was inadequate for the activities they wanted to do online, compared to just 19% of urban users. Rural areas were almost twice as likely to be unsatisfied with their broadband speed 

There is overwhelming support (79%) for offering discounts to users with slow broadband.
