By comparison the worst city, <strong>Exeter<\/strong>, scored just 6.31% for 4G coverage, while also delivering average fixed line speeds of 26.84Mbps and the number of people per WiFi hotspot is 1166.<\/p>\n<p>GoCompare does not clarify how this data was collected and filtered, although we can already spot a few obvious flaws. The biggest one stems from the classic mistake of gauging the strength of fixed line broadband connectivity by looking purely at speedtest based data, which is more a reflection of historic local take-up than the availability of faster networks.<\/p>\n<p>For example, bottom dwelling Exeter sounds terrible in this study but they&#8217;ve overlooked the fact that <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-65\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"virgin media\">Virgin Media<\/a>&#8217;s ultrafast broadband cable network is available across the vast majority of the city and <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-46 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"openreach\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-120 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"fttc\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_cable.php\">FTTC<\/a> and <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-110 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"fttp\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_fibre_optic.php\">FTTP<\/a> fibre networks also have coverage that&#8217;s nearly as strong.
