Ofcom<\/a> has today published somewhat of a preview for their annual study into fixed line UK broadband ISP speeds, which reveals that the average (mean) download speed of home connections has risen by 25.3% since last year to 80.2Mbps. Upload speeds have also jumped by 54% to 21.6Mbps.<\/p>\n

By the looks of it the delays caused by the Government’s recent COVID-19 lockdown seem to have pushed Ofcom<\/a>’s full annual report back to the autumn, which means that we only get a handful of interesting statistics in today’s short update on the same dataset.<\/p>\n

As usual this is based off data gathered during November 2020 via custom modified routers from SamKnows<\/a>, which were installed in around 2,945 UK homes<\/strong> (3,075 units in the ISP panel). This method of testing is extremely accurate but the limited sample size does force their report to focus on only the most common broadband technologies, packages and ISPs.<\/p>\n

The current active panel also excludes customers on packages with headline speeds of 2Mbps and less, because of the current low market share of these connections (less than 0.1% of the total).<\/p>\n

The Results<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Only 8% of consumers were found to have average speeds of less than 10Mbps and 78% are on “superfast<\/em>” or better packages with download rates above 30Mbps (just 5% of connections deliver an average of 300Mbps or more). Naturally, old copper ADSL<\/a> broadband lines had the lowest average speed of 10.3Mbps.<\/p>\n

Ofcom<\/a> also reported that there has been a 54% increase in the mean average upload speed of UK residential broadband services since the last report, which is largely down to the take-up and growing coverage of faster technologies (FTTP<\/a> etc.).<\/p>\n

\"ofcom_average_speeds_2021_preview\"<\/p>\n

Finally, while average speeds in rural areas remain lower than in towns and cities, more than half (60%) of rural households could still get speeds of over 30Mbps during peak hours of the day, compared to almost three quarters (74%) of urban households.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
