Fast Broadband generally means your area has to have special fibre optic cabling laid down to bring you your internet connection. Loads of London (even) doesn't have it laid. Decent internet is not something successive governments ever seem to prioritise, even though it's so important for connection, learning, business and modern life across the UK.
I'm going to annoy all of you. I live 200m from the main road, on the other side of a railway line, we're 6miles out of town and there's only three houses here. over 100m between us as well. and I pay for 100/100 I can get 1000/1000 but we don't need it so we don't pay for it. Our speed does not vary at all, when tested it normally comes in about 102/110 We do indeed have dedicated fiber for the internet. I remember well living in Durham only 7 years ago and only being able to use youtube at 1am because our top speed was 1.2/0.3! When I visit my parents in Hampshire in a large village near Winchester I am always appalled by how slow their net it, 3/0.5 on a good day, peak times it's slower.
I am obviously not in the UK! I'm up in Northern Denmark, on one of the poorest areas here.
If your not getting what is advertised or your supplier told you in your contract complain and tell them to correct it or charge you less I have done this on a number of occasions and always got results.
I recently change my package to high speed BT unlimited and get on average 72Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up
