The results from 1,613 respondents to ISPreview.co.uk\u2019s latest monthly web-based reader poll has revealed that 81.5% claim to “require<\/em>” a minimum real-world broadband download speed of equal to or greater than 10Mbps<\/strong> (Megabits per second) but only a third (34.4%) actually receive their currently required speed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Furthermore 62.8% said that their broadband speed was no better than it was in 2011, which is despite Ofcom<\/a>’s latest study (here<\/a>) showing that the average UK internet download speed<\/strong> had jumped from 7.6Mbps in November 2011 to reach 9Mbps<\/strong> in May 2012 (+19%). Much of that increase is believed to have come from the disproportionate impact of new superfast broadband services via a smaller number of largely urban consumers.<\/p>\n

What minimum real-world broadband speed do you CURRENTLY require for your needs (pick closest)?<\/strong>
\n30Mbps+ – 31.8%
\n10Mbps – 25.4%
\n20Mbps – 16.8%
\n5Mbps – 13.5%
\n15Mbps – 7.5%
\n2Mbps – 4.7%<\/p>\n

Do you already receive the speed you require?<\/strong>
\nNo – 63.2%
\nYes – 34.4%
\nI don’t know – 2.2%<\/p>\n

Is your broadband speed any better than it was last year?<\/strong>
\nNo – 62.8%
\nYes – 31.9%
\nI don’t know – 5.2%<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The study reveals a strong demand for faster connectivity and suggests that the vast majority of respondents would be unhappy with the UK government’s current Universal Service Commitment<\/strong> (USC), which aims to make a minimum internet speed of at least 2Mbps available to everybody in the country by 2015; only 4.7% of respondents claimed to require such a speed and everybody else wants something significantly faster. Meanwhile Europe’s Digital Agenda<\/strong> expects 100% to have access to a download speed of at least 30Mbps by 2020.<\/p>\n

This month\u2019s new survey asks whether or not you’ve used a Mobile Broadband (3G<\/a>) service (i.e. Internet access via Smartphones or USB Modems) and if the new 4G<\/a> solution is likely to be attractive? Vote Here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
