Last year we were 31st.
Only 560,000 premises in the UK have FTTP connections.
UK 35th in Broadband Speed
Britain is 35th in the world for broadband speeds, according to Cable, putting us behind Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Andorra. Madagascar, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary and Romania among others.
one engineer down the road every day this week, three (vans) this morning. down load speed is 580 kB/s. plus a post office delivery van with their mail?
I suspect in most of those countries whilst the delivery mechanism is there, the backbone capacity isn’t. The BBC is one of the world’s biggest servers and has been delivering 4k TV to any viewers of Wimbledon who wanted it. I doubt if these other places have the backbone, servers or indeed anything worth watching in 4k.
Except that Kane missed three chances, we flagged in the second half, and the Croats seemed to want it more than us
Och well, at least we did better in the footie -though if BT had managed the England team we’d be about the same 35th position ( or worse ).
Well done the England team – a proper professional match played well without resorting to fake injuries and the like – a credit to the nation – WELL DONE !
Spot on DrBob, the speed is less important than how congested it is and a lot less important othan wherher the line up.
Doesn’t help what the down load speed is if the line falls over.
I know where the problem lies but BT/Openretch won’t listen because of the cost and work involved.
There is a BT/Openretch engineer down the bottom of the road where the cabinet is 300 days of the year, some times more that one (up to 4) ‘engineers’. I’ve suggested they get their own postcode!
