We British are paying up to 17 times more for our broadband compared to some European countries according to a study by the Money Supermarket.

The survey makes depressing reading as in terms of average speed we also rank badly, coming in in 16th place, well behind most of our European neighbours who have invested in a fibre infrastructure rather than relying on outdated copper lines.

The UK, on average, pays £5.60 a month for each megabit per second (Mbps) that we have available, leaving us in 12th place, a whopping 17 times higher than Sweden and seven times more than France.
Even countries who pay more for their broadband seem to have a better deal, Poland for example pays £6.60 a month per Mbps and receive on average 7.5Mbps, three times the 2.6Mbps in the UK.

These findings dispel the myth that while broadband isn't a quick here in the UK, it's cheap. But al least we don't live in Turkey!
