Meanwhile Powys in Wales came last with an upload rate of just 2Mbps.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Most broadband providers tend to prioritise download speeds as the most important measurement of consumer performance, which is partly because uploads (the rate at which you send data to the internet) are simply less relevant to most everyday tasks. However, the <strong>COVID-19<\/strong> crisis has forced more people to both work and play from home, which in turn has placed greater emphasis on uploads.<\/p>\n<p>A good upload speed thus helps to support key tasks, such as sending large files to workmates, live video conferencing or streaming (e.g. Twitch, YouTube), cloud-based services and remote play (e.g. Google&#8217;s Stadia) and P2P based software updates etc. Admittedly, most people won&#8217;t need more than a handful of megabits for this, but in a busy household it certainly doesn&#8217;t hurt to have more upstream speed to harness when needed.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that <a class=\"noshortlink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkbroadband.com\/news\/8853-the-10-fastest-and-10-slowest-upload-speed-parts-of-the-uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thinkbroadband<\/a> has just scoured their database of web-based speedtests and produced a new table to show the top ten fastest and slowest UK council areas by upload speed. As usual it&#8217;s important to note that speedtest based studies like this can be affected by all sorts of issues within the home, such as slow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a>, limitations of the tester itself, a person\u2019s choice of package (e.g. faster services than your chosen one may be available) and local network congestion etc.<\/p>\n<p>The following results are thus only good for observing general market change and shouldn&#8217;t be taken as a reflection of network availability. In that sense we&#8217;ve tried to add some additional context to TBB&#8217;s figures by also pulling download the latest network availability (% coverage) figures for both 30Mbps+ and 1Gbps (Gigabit) capable networks in each area (note: these two tend to reflect download potential more than upload).<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, areas with strong &#8220;<em>superfast<\/em>&#8221; 30Mbps+ and Gigabit network coverage fair the best below, although 30Mbps+ capability is perhaps the most important of the two given its wide availability and take-up (many 30Mbps+ download packages these days tend to come with 10Mbps+ capable upload performance). What we can&#8217;t see below is how many people in each sample are still on slow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> lines (still used by roughly a quarter of UK broadband lines) etc.<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>The Top 10 Fastest Council Areas by Upload Speed<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Council Area<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Median Upload (Mbps)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>30Mbps Coverage %<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Gigabit Coverage %<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>City of Kingston upon Hull<\/td>\n<td>13.7<\/td>\n<td>99.06%<\/td>\n<td>99.03%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tower Hamlets<\/td>\n<td>13.1<\/td>\n<td>94.84%<\/td>\n<td>50.82%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>City and County of the City of London<\/td>\n<td>13.1<\/td>\n<td>58.40%<\/td>\n<td>45.05%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>City of Westminster<\/td>\n<td>10.5<\/td>\n<td>92.27%<\/td>\n<td>51.29%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Stevenage District<\/td>\n<td>9.8<\/td>\n<td>99.61%<\/td>\n<td>1.57%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Milton Keynes<\/td>\n<td>9.7<\/td>\n<td>99.06%<\/td>\n<td>82.23%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Brent<\/td>\n<td>9.5<\/td>\n<td>98.29%<\/td>\n<td>17.58%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wandsworth<\/td>\n<td>9.3<\/td>\n<td>98.67%<\/td>\n<td>37.99%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Epsom and Ewell District<\/td>\n<td>9.3<\/td>\n<td>99.82%<\/td>\n<td>64.07%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hillingdon<\/td>\n<td>9.3<\/td>\n<td>97.26%<\/td>\n<td>4.21%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>The Top 10 Slowest Council Areas by Upload Speed<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Council Area<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Median Upload (Mbps)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>30Mbps DL Coverage %<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Gigabit Coverage %<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>South Holland District<\/td>\n<td>3.8<\/td>\n<td>89.60%<\/td>\n<td>6.37%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Highland<\/td>\n<td>3.8<\/td>\n<td>81.26%<\/td>\n<td>5.65%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>South Hams District<\/td>\n<td>3.7<\/td>\n<td>88.85%<\/td>\n<td>19.70%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mid Devon District<\/td>\n<td>3.7<\/td>\n<td>82.57%<\/td>\n<td>5.46%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shetland Islands<\/td>\n<td>3.6<\/td>\n<td>75.22%<\/td>\n<td>1.20%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Argyll and Bute<\/td>\n<td>3.5<\/td>\n<td>84.30%<\/td>\n<td>1.36%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mid Ulster<\/td>\n<td>3.3<\/td>\n<td>76.15%<\/td>\n<td>39.75%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Orkney Islands<\/td>\n<td>2.5<\/td>\n<td>65.09%<\/td>\n<td>0.34%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fermanagh and Omagh<\/td>\n<td>2.3<\/td>\n<td>69.51%<\/td>\n<td>29.42%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Powys &#8211; Powys<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>83.09%<\/td>\n<td>20.09%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new piece of research has helped to reveal the top 10 UK council areas by average (median) broadband ISP upload speed, which perhaps unsurprisingly sees KCOM&#8217;s full fibre dominated city of Hull (East Yorkshire) come top on 13.7Mbps.
