<li align="center" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 0px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In collaboration with London&rsquo;s fastest fibre broadband provider₃, Shotta&rsquo;s track echoes the speed of today&rsquo;s internet, with Community Fibre offering speeds up to 10 Gbps</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
With predictions that internet usage is set to increase to 63 million Brits online in the next 5 years, the UK&rsquo;s fastest record-breaking rapper has today released a brand-new track that packs the history of the internet into a lightning-fast, 60 second rap. 
&nbsp;
The track comes following new research from London&rsquo;s best quality broadband, <a href="mailto:https://communityfibre.co.uk/">Community Fibre</a>, revealing just how critical the internet has become - with three in five (62%) Brits admitting they wouldn&rsquo;t be able to survive without the internet. 
&nbsp;
To help the UK appreciate just how far the internet has come, Community Fibre - the experts in super-fast fibre broadband speeds - has recruited Harry Shotta, the legendary rapper heralded for his fast rhymes, to give a &lsquo;history lesson&rsquo; on the internet. 
&nbsp;
Known for breaking the Guinness World Record for the number of words in a track, previously held by Eminem, Shotta&rsquo;s new track captures the history of the internet and key moments since its inception, with nods to the good old days of MSN, as well as to current day TikTok trends. 
&nbsp;
As inspiration for the track, the research reveals the generational divide when it comes to digital literacy, with this attitude gap across age groups in the UK now bigger than ever. Uncovering Gen Z&rsquo;s unfamiliarity with some of the technology once synonymous with the internet age, the research found only one in five Gen Zs have used a dial up modem, and just over a third (35%) have used a floppy disc. Old school social media is also unknown to Gen Z, with only 16% having used Bebo, and only a quarter admitting to having used MySpace - compared to nearly half (48%) of Millennials. 
&nbsp;
But while the types of digital technologies and social platforms have evolved over the internet age, the generational divide is less prevalent when it comes to internet usage in general, with the internet now a key part of life for older generations too. 
&nbsp;
Looking at speeds, the internet is now so fast paced that expectations are higher than ever. In fact, for Gen X, some of whom have had the internet for less than half their lives, admit they dislike waiting more than a few seconds for something to buffer online (66%). Surprisingly, they out rank Gen Z (56%) and Millennials (54%), with the younger generations found to be slightly more patient with load times. 
&nbsp;
Discussing his creation of the track, Harry Shotta, said: &ldquo;There&rsquo;s no doubt the internet has come an impressively long way in what really is a short amount of time. From all the things we all now use it for, to how fast it has become, I think we all have moments where we take it for granted. 
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Covering the broad history of the internet in just 60 seconds wasn&rsquo;t a small feat but doing it with Community Fibre has been a blast. As someone who gets a kick out of a speed challenge and trying to get in as many words as possible, it made sense to join forces with London&rsquo;s fastest fibre broadband provider to create something fun.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
With an insight into the evolution of the internet, the research found that the majority of Boomers (71%) and Gen X (75%) first used the internet via a dial modem through a desktop computer. Meanwhile, the experience for digital natives has long been on the go, with two in five (40%) Gen Zs first logging in online via the WiFi on their smartphone. 
&nbsp;
Graeme Oxby, Chief Executive Officer of Community Fibre, commented: &ldquo;As our new research shows, there&rsquo;s no question that the internet is a critical part of our everyday lives. As a nation, we&rsquo;re dependent on the internet for everything from communication with friends and family (88%), to online shopping (50%), to life&rsquo;s personal and business admin tasks (46%).&rdquo;
&nbsp;
He continued: &ldquo;If there&rsquo;s one thing we know at Community Fibre, it&rsquo;s the internet, and we love that this track taps into some of the habits we all share, and in some ways, helps us appreciate our connection that little bit more. Our ambition has long been to offer everyone fast, affordable, quality broadband and we&rsquo;re proud to provide the city&rsquo;s fastest fibre broadband connection to 1.3 million homes in London.&rdquo;&nbsp;

How you can save £648 simply by switching broadband provider

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Backed by the Mayor of London's Connected London Team, Community Fibre is on a mission to provide fast and affordable broadband to all - with more than one million Londoners now able to get access</h3>
London, UK:&nbsp;The Chief Digital Officer for London has welcomed the major milestone from <a href="http://www.communityfibre.co.uk">Community Fibre</a>, as it announces that more than one million Londoners can now access cheaper, faster fibre broadband.
The announcement comes as research found almost three-quarters (71%)* of people surveyed now view broadband as an essential utility, and no longer simply a nice-to-have, with 1 in 10 regularly struggling to access vital services like GP appointments, online banking, and government websites as a result of poor internet connection.
Community Fibre, which is the capital&rsquo;s largest fibre broadband provider and backed by the Greater London Authority, is on a mission to make high-quality broadband easily accessible to Londoners. It offers broadband packages ranging from 150 Mbps to 3 Gbps, (43x faster than the UK average download speed and 163x faster than the UK average upload speed)<a title="" name="_ftnref1" href="#_ftn1">[1]</a>, for a fraction of the price. On average, Londoners could save up to &pound;737 on their broadband bills simply by switching<a title="" name="_ftnref2" href="#_ftn2">[2]</a>.
Community Fibre is also hailed by consumers as the &lsquo;Best Internet Network Provider&rsquo; on Trustpilot, commanding an &lsquo;Excellent&rsquo; 4.8/5 rated service with more than 31,000 5-star reviews (September 2023).
Recognising Community Fibre&rsquo;s commitment to delivering more affordable broadband to Londoners Theo Blackwell, Chief Digital Officer for London, said: &ldquo;It is fantastic that over one million homes in London can now connect to full-fibre broadband, giving people and businesses faster, more reliable and more affordable internet access across the capital. The Mayor's Connected London team and Community Fibre have worked together to bridge the digital divide and improve our city&rsquo;s broadband infrastructure for the future, helping to build a better, fairer and more prosperous London for all.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Graeme Oxby, Chief Executive Officer of Community Fibre, commented: &ldquo;With ongoing pressure on household bills, as well as increasing consumer demand for online access and digital connectivity, we are proud to enable access to faster, cheaper, and more reliable fibre broadband to over one million London properties across the capital.&rdquo;&nbsp;
He continued:&nbsp;&ldquo;As well as advancing our network build to more properties and businesses across the capital, we will continue to challenge the industry with our innovative offerings, such as setting new out-of-contract pricing standards, which we have capped at &pound;2 across all our packages, as well as providing easy access to our social tariff, which remains the only social tariff product on the market today which does not ask consumers to provide proof of eligibility.&rdquo;

A guide to the best student broadband deals

South Park Crescent, once London&rsquo;s slowest street for broadband with an abysmal average download speed of 0.40 Mbps has received a fibre upgrade delivering up to x7,500 faster service, courtesy of Community Fibre &ndash; London&rsquo;s fastest and biggest 100% full fibre broadband provider
<ul>
<li>Olympic legend and British record-runner, Dame Kelly Holes joined excited residents as engineers removed the dependency on slow old copper technology by installing the UK&rsquo;s best quality full fibre broadband</li>
<li>In the digital age, unreliable broadband has been found to have a significant negative impact on quality of life, with three-quarters of Brits confessing they&rsquo;ve experienced WiFi Rage as a result of a poor or slow internet connection</li>
</ul>
London, UK: Gold medallist and legendary athlete, Dame Kelly Holmes, surprised the residents of South Park Crescent in Lewisham this week with a lightning-fast broadband street upgrade, following reports it ranks as London's slowest street for broadband speeds in London, and the 8th slowest in the UK.
Dame Kelly joined Community Fibre&rsquo;s expert engineers to help oversee innovative fibre installations in residents&rsquo; houses, following recent research* by the provider which found the residents of South Park Crescent aren&rsquo;t alone in their broadband miseries, as two-thirds of Brits - amounting to 18.7M households - are dissatisfied with their current broadband provider.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
As a result, three-quarters of Brits say they experienced WiFi rage in the past year, triggered by poor and unreliable broadband connections. Further findings show that on average, a third of British houses experience WiFi rage on a weekly basis - amounting to almost 9.8M homes.
South Park Crescent resident Tom Cochrane, who has lived in the street for four years, explains, &rdquo;For too long, our street has suffered from appalling internet speed from the incumbent supplier, which has been so slow it is virtually impossible to do even the most basic tasks online let alone doing streaming, gaming, or working from home.&nbsp;
We were ecstatic to welcome Dame Kelly and the Community Fibre team into our home, to get 100% full fibre broadband installed.&rdquo;
Dame Kelly Holmes, GB athlete and British record-holder, assisted the engineers as the first three homes were connected to Community Fibre, which boasts the fastest fibre broadband speeds in the capital, providing the same upload and download speeds and a network that is up and running over 99.9% of the time.
Dame Kelly comments, &ldquo;As someone who is obsessed with speed, I can only imagine the frustration residents of South Park Crescent have felt over the years with their slow internet connections. After talking to some of the residents who will now be receiving superfast broadband speeds, it&rsquo;s clear that this new connection will have a huge impact on their lives.&rdquo;
With services in the UK becoming increasingly digitised, the installation comes as Community Fibre found that 71% of Brits now view broadband as an essential utility, and no longer as a nice-to-have.
Graeme Oxby, CEO of Community Fibre, comments, &ldquo;Slow broadband speeds can have a very real, negative impact on people&rsquo;s lives, from the extra money spent on mobile data and the inability to access essential digital services, to being unable to work from home effectively or simply stream your favourite show. I'm so pleased we're able to offer the residents of South Park Crescent the fastest, best quality and best value broadband along with 1 million other homes in London.&rdquo;

As an example, its 1 Gbps 100% full fibre package is available to Londoners at the most competitive market rate, at a cost of &pound;25/month &ndash; less than 83p/day. In addition, more than 212,000 London-based businesses are now within 100m of the Community Fibre&rsquo;s network footprint so they can easily join Community Fibre and benefit from up to 10 Gbps symmetrical speeds.&nbsp;

</div>
<div>
He continued: &ldquo;As well as advancing our target to reach more Londoners with our 100% full fibre network, we will continue to challenge the industry with our innovative offerings, such as setting new out-of-contract pricing standards, which we have capped at &pound;2 across all our packages, as well as providing easy access to our social tariff, which unlike most other broadband providers does not ask consumers to provide proof of eligibility criteria.&rdquo; 
Community Fibre builds, operates, and owns its dedicated 100% full fibre network with the most advanced technology available to deliver fast and reliable broadband using 100% full fibre to the property (FTTP). Full Fibre is also the most sustainable solution, using 70% less energy than traditional old slow copper technology.&nbsp;

</ul>
&nbsp;
Wednesday, 17th May, London, UK: Three quarters (76%) of Brits experienced WiFi Rage in the past 12 months, according to new findings released today by <a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/">Community Fibre</a>, London&rsquo;s fastest full fibre broadband<a title="" name="_ftnref1" href="#_ftn1">[1]</a>. The newly researched phenomenon, which is triggered by poor and unreliable broadband connections, has found to impact a third (35%) of British households on a weekly basis &ndash; amounting to almost 9.8M homes.

Slow speeds and &ldquo;wheel of doom&rdquo; amongst top WiFi gripes
WiFi consistently cutting out (36%) is the number one contributing factor for broadband-related frustration, followed closely by slow internet speeds (32%) and constant buffering (29%) - commonly referred to as the &ldquo;wheel of doom&rdquo;. Despite 44% of the UK&rsquo;s workforce now working from home for at least part of the week<a title="" name="_ftnref2" href="#_ftn2">[2]</a>, 15% of people say the inability to work effectively from home has also caused infuriating rage over poor connectivity.

The top five causes for WiFi Rage:
<ol>
<li>WiFi cutting out (36%)</li>
<li>Slow internet e.g., slow upload / download speeds (32%)</li>
<li>Constant buffering and loading (29%)</li>
<li>Unable to access web pages (20%)</li>
<li>Videos not working properly e.g., on social media or streaming services (19%)</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
As a result of poor internet connectivity, researchers have found that WiFi Rage is causing issues ranging from heightened levels of stress to the inability to access basic services such as GP appointments, online banking, or government services, as well as arguments within the household.

The top five issues poor internet connectivity is causing:
<ol>
<li>Heightened levels of stress (16%)</li>
<li>Inability to relax or have downtime (15%)</li>
<li>Inability to access basic services such as GP appointments, online-banking, or government services (14%)</li>
<li>Unable to keep up to date with friends and family on social media or email (11%)</li>
<li>Household arguments or tension within relationships because of unstable internet (10%)</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
As services in the UK become increasingly digitised, almost three-quarters (71%) of Brits now view broadband as an essential utility, and no longer as a nice-to-have. However, with WiFi Rage causing nationwide despair and preventing seamless access to crucial services, it comes as no surprise that two-thirds of Brits (66%) are not satisfied with their broadband provider.

Brits are still baffled by their WiFi packages&hellip;
With a third (33%) of Brits unable to define the difference between wired and WiFi broadband speeds, and <a name="_Hlk135079441"></a>a further third (31%) unaware of what their broadband package includes, Community Fibre is working to educate consumers to empower them to better understand and tackle their WiFi woes.

Graeme Oxby, CEO of Community Fibre, comments, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re on a mission to tackle the issue of slow speeds - and the inevitable WiFi Rage that ensues as a result. With a third of Brits unaware of their WiFi speed, we&rsquo;d encourage anyone struggling with their connection to check their speed via our <a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/speedtest">online tool</a> - and challenge their broadband provider to improve their speed if it&rsquo;s registering significantly below their agreed package deal.
&ldquo;At Community Fibre, we&rsquo;re proud to connect Londoners to full-fibre broadband, which provides fast and reliable internet access using only fibre optic cables, direct to your home. We&rsquo;d encourage anyone living in the capital who is being burdened by WiFi Rage to explore our packages, for access to super-speedy broadband.&rdquo;
Of those who have a fibre broadband package, 37% didn&rsquo;t check what kind of fibre is provided in their area before purchasing - potentially missing out on super-fast full fibre broadband options with competitively priced speeds of up to 3 Gbps. This is significantly faster than the partial fibre broadband alternative, which serves speeds of around 30-70 Mbps.

Five tips to improve your WiFi speed according to Community Fibre:
<ol type="1" start="1">
<li>Position your router in an open location that&rsquo;s not hidden behind your TV or furniture.</li>
<li>Ensure your router is not too close to the floor (a shelf, desk or table will do the trick) or near a window; you&rsquo;ll &lsquo;waste&rsquo; signal by broadcasting to the outside.</li>
<li>Water can also reduce your signal strength so keep your router away from fish tanks.</li>
<li>Keep the router upright so that its WiFi signal goes outwards and not into the floor.</li>
<li>Broadband speed is shared so disconnect devices you don&rsquo;t need from the router.</li>
</ol>
