Why should I be testing my broadband speed? The last available report gave the UK's national average broadband speed as 28.9Mb in November 2015.
These are recorded by a different method involving equipment installed in the home to record speeds during day-to-day usage.
Ofcom have also published average broadband speeds recorded across the UK, including individual figures for the largest providers, different types of broadband and different types of neighbourhood. Mobile broadband providers and those that only serve business customers are not counted towards the national average figure. Broadband provider is detected by IP address rather than self selection. We record hundreds of thousands of test results every month.
