When internet usage became common in the late 1990s, the lack of speed was not regarded as such an issue. The whole concept of the world wide web seemed so magical at the time that an image sometimes taking minutes to appear was easy enough to bear. That view quickly changed, not surprisingly, as the Internet evolved and internet broadband began to appear.
Nowadays, a high speed internet connection is considered, by many, to be as essential a part of their life as electricity and water is. An area that lacks good broadband internet access will often be seen as a blackhole. Because, broadband itself is not always enough – and that’s becoming more the case as increasingly fast speeds are possible.
