A survey of the Broadband community has revealed that action is required to secure the future of the UK web infrastructure.

iBAHN, the digital entertainment and internet solutions provider has recently announced the results of its broadband community survey, designed to explore connectivity demand in the future alongside network limits, security, government intervention, devices and applications.

The findings reveal that the broadband community is anxious that the UK’s broadband network is reaching its limit. Of the people surveyed, 72% said that they were concerned or very concerned, yet 59% of respondents disagreed with the recent budget proposal to impose a broadband tax of 50p per month on fixed line connections in order to fund a super-fast broadband service.

The survey also revealed that the UK broadband community anticipates that the biggest challenge faced by broadband networks over the next 10 years will be an increase in data traffic (38%), followed by a demand for higher speeds (19%) whilst concerns over security reached 16%.

Interestingly, when respondents were asked how important security is when connecting to a broadband network in the present day, 92% said that it is essential with just 7% happy to take a risk and only 1% feeling that security is not important.

These results highlight the fact that this issue needs to be fully addressed in order to satisfy the needs and expectations of business users and consumers in the UK.
