The article from MSN discusses the plight of residents in Devon, England, who are dealing with extremely outdated broadband services, described as "almost prehistoric." Despite the UK government's pledge to deliver gigabit-capable broadband to all by 2030, many in rural areas like Devon are still stuck with slow internet speeds, often less than 10Mbps, which is insufficient for modern needs like remote working, online education, and streaming services. The situation has led to significant frustration among locals, with some areas not even having access to basic broadband services. The article highlights the stark contrast between urban and rural digital infrastructure, pointing out that while some parts of the UK enjoy high-speed internet, rural communities are left behind, impacting their quality of life and economic opportunities. Efforts are being made to address this digital divide, but progress is slow, and the government's targets seem increasingly out of reach for these underserved regions.
