Broadband

The term "broadband" is not internationally defined consistently. However, the broadband strategy of the German government aims for nationwide basic coverage with minimum speeds of 1 Mbit/s. By 2018, speeds of at least 50 Mbit/s should be available across the country. At the EU level, the Digital Agenda for Europe sets the goal of achieving widespread coverage of at least 30 Mbit/s and providing speeds of 100 Mbit/s to at least 50% of European households by 2020.
