Apparently Leicester University might only be ranked 47th for higher education, but they come top for broadband speeds – averaging a download rate of 39.87Mbps in student areas – in a new study of Internet performance conducted on 43 of the United Kingdom’s top 50 universities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The uSwitch.com<\/a> data is based on speed tests conducted between 19th September 2015 to 7th July 2016, which examined the top universities as ranked by the Guardian University Guide 2017<\/strong>. Apparently this used tests (isolated by postcode) from the university halls of residence, university campus and most popular streets for private student accommodation at each university.<\/p>\n

The postcodes for the halls of residence and campus were sourced from the universities\u2019 accommodation pages, and postcodes for private student accommodation were sourced from the universities\u2019 private accommodation pages, student forums and message boards, as well as local student letting agent listings.<\/p>\n

Overall this totalled 181,131 speed tests, across 107,460 unique IP addresses. In order for a university to qualify for inclusion there had to be at least 500 unique tests, hence why the final table is only 43 long instead of 50.<\/p>\n

Sadly the study doesn’t appear to break its data down to show which students were connecting via any given University’s own private network, which should ideally be separated from those who have taken a broadband service via a third-party ISP. Similarly we’re also given no information about the underlying availability of different connectivity methods, which again limits the usefulness of this data.<\/p>\n

Never the less it’s noted that students in London appear to suffer quite a bit, facing the combined hassle from both a higher cost of living and worse broadband speeds: Queen Mary, SOAS, Goldsmiths, Imperial and Kings are all in the bottom 15 of the broadband league table.<\/p>\n
