There is currently controversy revolving around plans to introduce next generation broadband to replace existing services.
However, UK Web Media is certain that cheap broadband should cope with its uses as it is.
Tom Newton from the company stated: "People still expect their broadband connection to be able to handle the bare minimum – browsing, emailing, shopping, checking Facebook and Myspace and the occasional download.

"If these expectations can't be met, then people are going to feel frustrated and ultimately short-changed by the service they're paying for."
Possible reasons cited by Mr Newton for possible slowdowns in broadband speeds include the weather in Britain, as well as the increased use and popularity of broadband.
Internet service providers are set to be monitored by telecoms watchdog Ofcom over the next six months to ensure that they are meeting the conditions of a new code that came into force last week.
