According to comparison website broadband.co.uk UK broadband speeds drop by 25% during peak times. The overnight levels show a higher average speed than the evening peak rate and the daytime rate is in between. This would suggest that work needs to be done to increase the capacity to meet the demand. Broadband speed tests which were carried out in December also show that the average speed of broadband has risen for the first time since July 2008. This is good news for web surfers who should be finding that they can use the internet at a faster pace.
The average speed UK wide is up by 14% at 3.667 Mbps. Virgin has topped polls which show it as the fastest broadband provider with average download speeds of 6.073 Mbps. It is expected that 2009 will see further improvements in broadband speeds and it is expected that times should not deviate too much during peak times.
