"100% super-fast broadband access by 2020"
"90 percent of the country to access the next generation of super-fast broadband by 2017."

Am I missing something here? I didn't listen to/read the whole budget but from this post there's nothing to say the 100% by 2020 isn't planned, there's 3 more years to do the last 10%.

Budget was all about winning voters this year. Mentioning broadband speeds and coverage wasn't really a priority for the government at the moment.

Anyhoo, its generally down to BT and local councils regarding how fast we get new faster boardband lines.

Then why didn't he say as much?
