Epitiro has today released its latest quarterly (Q2-2007) Internet Performance Indicator (IPI) report, which measures technical broadband ADSL performance from the ten largest UK ISP's.

The big news is Tiscali's inclusion, which marks the first time it's managed to enter the top 5 since Epitiro began reporting. Meanwhile BT was named as the best performing broadband provider for the fifth consecutive quarter:


Interestingly PlusNet has also made a comeback after having been absent since Q3 2006 last year. Both TalkTalk and AOL UK, which are owned by the Carphone Warehouse, have been pushed out.

Sadly Epitiro’s report, while interesting, doesn't monitor all UK ISP's and as a result its findings are of limited use. Never the less it is interesting to see how the big boys perform, at least in respect to their networks. We hope that Tiscali's inclusion marks the beginning of a wider improvement.

It’s understood that the next report will include broadband cable and ADSL2+ offering ISP’s - http://www.epitiro.co.uk/press/ADSL-REP-Q2-2007.jsp .
