As more Australians have moved online, their internet speeds have slowed, said White.
There’s also a shortage of landline broadband, which can be expensive and slow to deploy.
When it comes to internet access, the United States has the highest penetration rate of all countries, with 70 per cent connected to a broadband service. But the U
