Broadband is the most modern of communication means, while carrier pigeons date back to Roman times.

But on Thursday, a race between the two highlighted the low speeds of rural broadband in the UK; the pigeon won.

But its nice how the UK actually has high speed and we're still stuck with copper wires strung through fishing boats.
