Gigabit Broadband

While many broadband providers offer broad band from 100-500 megabits per second. Resarchers in South Korea are trying to increase broadband speed to 1,000Mbps (1Gbps) by 2012. The South Korean government will need to spend £19 Billion to achieve this which would give South Korea broadband 500 times faster than the UK despite them already having the world's fastest broadband at 12mps as an average.
