But the study only examined a handful of the largest ISPs, which ignores all of the smaller often faster altnets and retail providers that exist.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The latest Q3 2026 study is based on data gathered from real measurements conducted by users of SpeedGeo&#8217;s <strong>V-SPEED<\/strong> applications, including via their website, as well as on Android, iOS, Windows and macOS. A total of 874,769 tests were conducted across &#8220;<em>fixed and mobile-broadband lines using cable or Wi-Fi connections<\/em>&#8221; between 1st October 2025 and 30th September 2026 (Q4 2025 to Q3 2026).<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Speedtests like this can be affected by various issues, such as slow Wi-Fi, limitations of the tester itself, local network congestion and package choice (i.e. people may pick a slower \/ cheaper plan, even with faster speeds are available). The following results are thus only good for observing general market change over time and should not be taken as a reflection of ISP capability.<\/div>\n<p>As with the above note, there are always caveats to consider with speedtest based studies like this, not least because the results for broadband lines tend to be more reflective of take-up than network availability. For example, some fixed ISPs may have a much larger proportion of customers on slower copper-based lines, which can weigh against those on faster <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> services with the same provider (i.e. pulling the average down).<\/p>\n<p>The SpeedGeo study also only lists a handful of big providers, which misses a lot of key players and completely ignores the many significantly faster alternative broadband networks that now exist across the UK. This is due to SpeedGeo&#8217;s limited data sample size, as well as the fact that they only include operators if they account for more than 3% of all tests in a given category and location during a specific quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The providers were all ranked based on average download speed (from highest to lowest), although they\u2019ve also included figures for upload speeds and network latency (milliseconds), which is always nice to have. But we still find it a bit unusual that they included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> into the list, since mobile broadband connections are significantly more variable than fixed lines.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Internet Provider<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Download [Mb\/s]<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Upload [Mb\/s]<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"bq3\"><strong>Ping [ms]<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 14.6pt;\">\n<td style=\"height: 14.6pt;\" height=\"19\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a><\/td>\n<td data-order=\"283.7\">283.7<\/td>\n<td data-order=\"52.9\">52.9<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" data-order=\"24\">24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 14.6pt;\">\n<td style=\"height: 14.6pt;\" height=\"19\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a><\/td>\n<td data-order=\"207.1\">207.1<\/td>\n<td data-order=\"93.2\">93.2<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" data-order=\"23\">23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 14.6pt;\">\n<td style=\"height: 14.6pt;\" height=\"19\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>)<\/td>\n<td data-order=\"151.7\">151.7<\/td>\n<td data-order=\"38.7\">38.7<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" data-order=\"21\">21<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 14.6pt;\">\n<td style=\"height: 14.6pt;\" height=\"19\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a><\/td>\n<td data-order=\"147.9\">147.9<\/td>\n<td data-order=\"46.9\">46.9<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" data-order=\"16\">16<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 14.6pt;\">\n<td style=\"height: 14.6pt;\" height=\"19\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a><\/td>\n<td data-order=\"107.9\">107.9<\/td>\n<td data-order=\"38.8\">38.8<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" data-order=\"18\">18<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 14.6pt;\">\n<td style=\"height: 14.6pt;\" height=\"19\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a><\/td>\n<td data-order=\"97.8\">97.8<\/td>\n<td data-order=\"20.8\">20.8<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\" data-order=\"45\">45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SpeedGeo project, which compares broadband connection quality by benchmarking the internet speeds of real users, has published their Q3 2026 results and once again named Virgin Media as the fastest fixed broadband ISP.
