Topic: So just what is superfast broadband, minister?

[Simon]

One of the key ministers charged with delivering the next generation of internet services for Britain can't even define what the government means by superfast broadband, according to a published answer to a parliamentary question.

Responding to a written question asking for a definition of what the government meant by the term, Edward Vaizey, the lead minister for all matters internet related, choose not to put any figures on target speeds.

“Super fast broadband means broadband of sufficient speed and quality to deliver the services that will lead to Britain having the best broadband network in Europe,” said Vaizey, Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries.

I wonder what his computing qualifications are? I do think we have ministers doing jobs that they have absolutely no fecking clue about. Really gets on my tits.
