Good news for consumers. Openreach appears set to launch another round of wholesale prices cuts for UK ISPs that sell their gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband lines.

Ofcom’s 2022 study of fixed line home broadband ISP speeds has reported that the average (median) UK download rate has risen from 50.4Mbps last year to 59.4Mbps now (uploads went from 9.8Mbps to 10.7Mbps).
