Pocket-Lint: An Ofcom report has found that average broadband speeds in the UK have risen by 22 per cent since the end of 2010. The average speed nationally was measured at 6.2Mbps in November/December 2010, but rose to 7.6Mbps in just 12 months.

In addition, 58 per cent of UK residential broadband users are now on packages over 10Mbps. However, the gap between the average advertised speeds and actual average download speeds continues to differ. (Ofcom, Services)
