That's a big assumption and the complete opposite of my experience.
In my experience broadband take up is and has always been higher in lower income areas compared to higher income areas.
The same applies to taking higher/Ultrafast tiers. Take up is higher in lower income areas vs higher income areas.
That seems daft, if you have less money then you go for something cheaper and not bothered about speed. Granted that some don't and they seem to spend money on stuff that is not important and other stuff they don;t
