According to a report in the Hull and East Riding Mail, for some residents of rural East Yorkshire it is quicker to send a message by carrier pigeon than rely on broadband internet – and that's official.

Campaigners for quicker and improved internet connections in the countryside turned to traditional methods to get their message across.

A computer file upload raced the pigeon, carrying the same information on a memory card, between Beverley and Wrangle in Lincolnshire.

When the bird arrived after a 75-minute flight, the upload was just 30 per cent complete.

As someone who lives in a rural area, I can totally understand this report. to read the report go here; http://bit.ly/9ggb4V
