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.
NRM: "Broadband problems? Under new Ofcom proposals, you will no longer have to “fight tooth and nail” for the “fair compensation” you are owed. If approved, Internet Service Providers will automatically have to pay customers for bad broadband, delayed repairs and missed engineer appointments."
More than 1.4 million homes in the UK cannot get decent broadband, reveals a report from telecoms regulator Ofcom.
Mobile operator Three has urged the UK communications watchdog to come down hard on BT and Vodafone in the next bid for spectrum—expected at the end of this year.
