A couple unable to stream films or video call in their small village say they have been quoted more than £100,000 to upgrade their broadband.
Kevin and Lynda Mortimer said their current 1Mb/s connection was "rubbish".
It also falls well below the 10Mb/s set out in legislation, which everyone in the UK has the right to request.Is there such a thing as a human right to internet?

How is Britain doing?
