Gigabit capable broadband connectivity should be download speeds of *at least* 1Gbps, not “up to”. This wording provides a loophole and doesn’t match the intention. It should be mandated that new developments have at least 1Gbps capable connectivity, even if the service level chosen by the consumer is lower. Anything less is not sufficient investment for increased demands from home working etc.
It should be mandated that developers supply CAT6 network points in every room in new dwellings to allow hard wiring equipment. The current trend to rely on wifi results in contention and poor service in high density developments.
