We’ve today published ISPreview’s first biannual study of the United Kingdom’s broadband download and upload speeds for 2026, which covers the first half of the year. The report reveals how the performance of the fastest fixed line internet providers, mobile network operators and Starlink<\/a> (satellite<\/a>) services has changed since the end of 2025<\/p>\n

The results in this report stem from web-based speed testing by consumers and are thus inevitably impacted by a number of factors, such as the rising coverage of faster network technologies (e.g. full fibre and 5G<\/a> mobile) and the level of take-up by consumers. Naturally, it helps to understand any key changes in network deployments around the study period, which is shown below using the latest <\/strong>data from Ofcom<\/a> (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The term \u201cgigabit-capable<\/em>\u201d on fixed lines refers to the combined coverage of Full Fibre (FTTP<\/a>\/B) and Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC \/ Virgin Media<\/a>) networks. Ofcom<\/a> predicts the UK will achieve gigabit coverage of up to 95% by January 2029 (here<\/a>), or 92% when only looking at FTTP<\/a>.<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The biggest coverage improvements for fixed line services continue to come from full fibre broadband networks (Summary of UK FTTP Builds<\/strong><\/a>), although ongoing market pressures (high build costs, high interest rates, fierce competition etc.) have, on the flip side, resulted in many alternative operators (altnets) suffering job losses and a build slowdown or stall. But the Openreach<\/a>, Quickline<\/a>, Netomnia<\/a> and a few others have kept a good pace of build.<\/p>\n

Full fibre networks also remain the driving force behind the rise in gigabit-capable coverage, which continues to be predominantly fuelled by commercial roll-outs in urban areas. By comparison the Government’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/strong><\/a> programme – specifically their Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy (GIS) contracts – have so far helped to upgrade 256,680 premises<\/a> in hard to reach areas. The national goal is to expand gigabit coverage to c.99% of the UK by 2032 (delayed from the original 2030 target – here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Finally, in terms of mobile networks, there have been further improvements in 4G<\/a> and 5G (mobile broadband) coverage, especially the fastest 5G+ (Standalone) technology. Most of this stems from commercial investment, although the industry-led \u00a31bn Shared Rural Network<\/strong><\/a> (SRN) project has continued to make gradual progress on boosting geographic 4G<\/a> coverage (here<\/a>); this is less impactful in population terms, as fewer people live in rural areas.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Web-based speedtests can be affected by various issues, such as slow Wi-Fi, limitations of the tester itself, local network congestion and package choice (a lot of people will pick a slower and cheaper plan, even with 1Gbps available). The following results are thus only good for observing general market change over time and MUST NOT be taken as a reflection of ISP capability.<\/div>\n

Fastest Major Fixed Broadband ISPs (H1 2026 vs H2 2025)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The data for this report has been gathered from Thinkbroadband<\/a>\u2019s independent database of speedtests (inc. ISPreview\u2019s Broadband Speedtest<\/a><\/strong>). The first set of tables below only includes the largest and most established independent ISPs with strong national availability. But we have a separate table for smaller providers (inc. some altnets) on page 2 \u2013 these are difficult to include because such ISPs don’t produce much test data (fewer users).<\/p>\n

Naturally, there are caveats to consider with speedtest based studies like this, not least because the results tend to be more impacted by take-up than network availability. For example, some ISPs may have a much larger proportion of customers on slower copper-based lines (ADSL<\/a> or FTTC<\/a>), which can weigh against those on faster FTTP services (i.e. pulling average speeds down). The opposite can also be true.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The top 10% is the speed experienced by the fastest users on each ISP (below in brackets). The results are averages (median) in Megabits per second (Mbps). The H2 2025 data was processed at the end of November 2025 and the latest H1 2026 data is from late April 2025.<\/div>\n

Overall, the average download speed<\/strong> of the largest national providers was 100.8Mbps (up from 91.28Mbps) and the average upload speed<\/strong> hit 25.5Mbps (up from 21.21Mbps).<\/p>\n

Now flick over to page 2 to continue this summary and see how the fastest satellite<\/a> (starlink<\/a>), mobile operators and smaller ISPs all performed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Overall, everybody saw some improvement during the first half of the year, with Vodafone<\/a> reporting the biggest performance gains for downloads and EE<\/a> doing the best for uploads. As usual we suspect that most of these improvements will be coming from customers upgrading to faster networks, primarily moving from copper to full fibre ones.<\/p>\n

Similarly, those who already have full fibre packages may be upgrading to faster tiers, which can also help to move the performance dial forward. The biggest change to watch out for next year will be Openreach<\/a>’s move to introduce even faster multi-gigabit tiers. Over time such changes tend to trickle down, which can result in those on slower entry-level packages getting faster speeds too.<\/p>\n

Top 20 Fastest Smaller Broadband ISPs (H1 2026 vs H2 2025)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The following table reflects a list of the fastest smaller providers, which also includes some large-ish providers that may not have strong national availability due to the limited coverage of their underlying network(s). This is intended to provide some useful context against the biggest and most widely available market players above.<\/p>\n

The table below is ordered by median download speed, but for extra context we’ve also included a figure for upload performance in brackets. Most of the providers in this list are faster than the major players because they’re often connected to alternative networks with faster entry-level speeds and will have a low portion of users (sometimes none at all) on older copper-based lines; but there are always exceptions (e.g. older ISPs are more likely to suffer from a legacy base of slower lines).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> This list excludes major ISPs (i.e. those listed on page 1), dedicated business\/school providers, satellite<\/a> and mobile network operators.<\/div>\n

The catch above is that smaller providers also produce a smaller data sample, which means that these results can fluctuate a lot more between reports. As a result, internet providers are more likely to both dip into and out of the above list, between updates, due to many of them struggling to produce the minimum required level of test data.<\/p>\n

For example, in this update we had to remove Brsk (now merged into YouFibre<\/a>), while Squirrel Internet, Wessex Internet<\/a> and Ogi<\/a> were separately cut due to a lack of data. But in their place we added Grain Connect<\/a>, Rise Fibre<\/a>, Voneus<\/a> and Airband<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Satellites<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

ISPreview also keeps track of the results for SpaceX’s satellite based Starlink<\/a> broadband service. Sadly, not enough data exists to include other satellite platforms or providers (yet), but that may change in the future (Amazon<\/a>’s Leo will be added in the future). Otherwise, Starlink’s average download performance appears to have decreased during the first half of 2026 and it’s a similar story for their upload performance.<\/p>\n

However, we expect speeds to improve again in the not-too-distant future, once Starlink starts launching their GEN3 satellites into orbit (unclear precisely when we can expect this due to delays with Space’s Starship rocket) and upgrades or expands some of their gateway (ground) stations in the UK.<\/p>\n

The Fastest Mobile Operators<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Mobile speeds remain a difficult area to study because end-users are always moving through different areas (indoor, outdoor and underground), using different devices with different capabilities and the surrounding environment is ever changeable (weather, trees, buildings etc.). All of this can impact signal quality and that’s before we consider any differences in network (backhaul) capacity or spectrum usage between locations.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that studies of mobile broadband speed are inherently open to variation, but the top networks often tend to be those with a combination of the best 4G or 5G coverage, a good amount of radio spectrum and strong bakchaul capacity.<\/p>\n

Overall, the average download speed<\/strong> of the four primary mobile operators was 28.75Mbps (up from 26.75Mbps in H2 2025) and the average upload speed<\/strong> hit 5.6Mbps (up from 4.7Mbps). Interestingly both Vodafone<\/a> and O2<\/a> saw a dip in download performance, which is unusual considering that both have been heavily investing in network upgrades, mergers and the deployment of 5G+ (5G Standalone) technology.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, Vodafone<\/a> delivered the fastest upload speeds, which may well reflect one of the benefits of 5G+ technology (i.e. it tends to be more of an upload than download booster), although we’re unsure why O2<\/a> failed to show a similar sort of improvement. At present we’re still listing Three and Vodafone as being separate because the two networks are still in the process of merging their networks.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the market for 5G services in the UK is now starting to reach a degree of maturity, with swings of c.5-10% in one direction or the other becoming somewhat common between biannual updates. On the other hand, the newer generation of faster Standalone 5G (SA) \/ 5G+ networks don’t seem to be having much of an overall performance impact, yet.<\/p>\n

Finally, we’re not expecting Ofcom<\/a>’s late 2025 auction of 5G spectrum in the mmW bands – 26GHz and 40GHz – to have much of an impact on these results. This is because it will take time for mobile operators to introduce related services and for device support to improve, as well as the fact that such bands are rather niche (i.e. mostly focused on improving connectivity in busy urban areas and for fixed wireless links).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
