As the newly released OFCOM UK interactive research map shows, there is still a massive disparagey between the Broadband Speed have’s and have not’s in the UK.
Ofcom hopes that the map will help the UK government see where investment is needed to being the UK up to speed of other countries and hopefully put the UK out in front of many others.
The map in fully interactive and provides a wide variety of information based on the various regions in the UK. It’s worth a look and a play with to see what the speeds & Broadband take up is in your own area.
From my own point of view, I continue to receive good broadband speeds through my BT Infinity line, although I can see a slight tail off in the download speed, but at an average of 30MB, I cannot complain at all. It may just be that that more users are being added to my fibre spur and the bandwidth is being taken up with TV/Movie viewing, gaming etc.
In the end, is this not what high-speed broadband is about and the fact that I can still receive these types of speed over a twisted copper pair of wires is amazing!
