According to official EC figures, Broadband speeds in Europe have shot up in the last year.
For example, in July 2010, 29% of broadband lines in Europe ran at speeds of at least 10 Mbps, revealed Commission research. By contrast in July 2009 only 15% of broadband lines were capable of hitting that speed.
The figures clearly show improvement, but the Commission has also warned that a lot of work needs to be done in order to meet Europe-wide targets on access and speed.
"Fast broadband is digital oxygen, essential for Europe 's prosperity and well-being," said Neelie Kroes, commissioner for the digital agenda.
The EC has set a target of giving every European citizen access to a speed of 30Mbps or more by 2020. Furthermore, they want to give half of all the 220 million households in the region access to 100mbps broadband. Denmark and the Netherlands are streets ahead the rest of us in Europe with high-speed links already available to about 80% of households.
