Question for British/European folks:

I have just read that internet access in London ( and maybe rest of Britain?) only works for a few hours a day, with much downtime.

Is that true?
Is it true for other places in Europe?

That's absurd. They also have indoor plumbing by the way. Bluenorthwest Apr 2013 #6

Their internet access was better than what I've found here in the states. Especially France (at least the places I was in). Wi-fi everywhere.

I think they have better, cheaper and more options than we do last I looked. Free broadband with your phone service was mentioned by a friend recently in passing. Slightly higher percentage of UK households have broadband than in the US.

...if it was, let's say, a travel site, then maybe a particular traveler had a problem in one place.
