The latest anecdotal monthly consumer broadband ISP speed testing results from Broadband.co.uk, which covers the past month of June 2012, reveals that the average UK internet download speed<\/strong> has shot up yet again from 15.286Mbps (Megabits per second) during May 2012 to 17.662Mbps<\/strong> now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the national average upload speed<\/strong> saw a moderate fall from 2.291Mbps to 2.100Mbps<\/strong> over the same period. As usual Virgin Media<\/a> remains the fastest broadband ISP for download speed at 30.106Mbps (up from 24.338Mbps last month), while Eclipse Internet (16.434Mbps) has leapfrogged over BT<\/a> (14.984Mbps) to take 2nd place.<\/p>\n

The story for upload speed is somewhat reversed, with BT<\/a> delivering the fastest upstream performance<\/strong> of 3.267Mbps (down from 3.745Mbps last month) and Eclipse Internet (3.073Mbps) following in 2nd place; Virgin Media<\/a> was just a little way behind (2.630Mbps). Most other ISPs tend to be disproportionately slower<\/strong> than the top three; often due to a lack of superfast broadband or limited uptake\u00a0with similar services (e.g. TalkTalk<\/a> has just 9,000 FTTC<\/a> subscribers).<\/p>\n

As usual readers must take anecdotal data like this with a huge pinch of salt. Every home is different and performance can be affected by all sorts of issues, many of which are beyond the ISPs ability to control. We do not consider the above table to be a reliable barometer for individual users but it can help to reflect overall market changes.<\/p>\n

In addition this list only includes the largest ISPs that deliver broadband services on a truly national scale and thus account for roughly 95% of the UK’s consumer fixed line broadband market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
