Home Broadband Performance Report

By September 2022, the average download speed for home broadband connections in the UK was 65.3 Mbit/s, an increase of 10% compared to March 2022. This was largely due to people upgrading to faster services. Less than 3% of households had average download speeds of less than 10 Mbit/s, with cable connections offering the highest average download speed. The proportion of homes in the research with broadband connections that use a superfast package (with an advertised download speed of 30 Mbit/s or higher) was 93%. And 10% use ultrafast packages with advertised speeds of 300 Mbit/s or higher. Upload speeds – which are particularly important for people who use video communication services like Zoom or Teams, or who play video games online – are also increasing. Average upload speeds increased by 46% between March and September 2022, to 15.5 Mbit/s. On average, download speeds during the peak hours of 8pm to 10pm were 5% slower than average maximum speeds.
