Philip Wilkinson, Broadband Genie CEO, said:
"ADSL2+ technology is undoubtedly going to provide the UK with faster broadband, but consumers should be aware that these new super-fast speeds are only currently available to a fraction of the population. The broadband speed available to you depends on such things as how close to a telephone exchange you live.
"Anyone considering buying broadband or changing provider should also bear in mind that speed is not the be-all-and-end-all: other vital considerations include price, usage limits, and extras such as free modems, PC security, and so on.
"We recommend that you start by using the Broadband Genie comparison search to find out exactly what is available in your area. "
