PM vows 'fast internet' for all by 2020

All UK homes and businesses will have access to "fast broadband" by 2020, David Cameron has pledged.

The prime minister is to introduce a "universal service obligation" for broadband, giving the public a legal right to request an "affordable" connection.

It would put broadband on a similar footing to other basic services such as water and electricity.
