Averages only tell half the story. Run a free speed test against UK servers and see exactly where your connection ranks in your area.
Run a free speed testThe single biggest factor is which technology has been built to your street: standard ADSL, part-fibre (FTTC) where speed drops with distance from the cabinet, Virgin Media's cable network, or full fibre (FTTP). Two neighbouring postcodes can differ tenfold simply because one has been upgraded to full fibre and the other hasn't.
Enter your postcode in our coverage checker to see which technologies and providers are available at your address. Many homes can already get far faster broadband than they currently pay for, often for less money.
Usually, yes. Even on the same technology, out-of-contract customers overpay for the speeds they get, and new full-fibre networks are switching on in more streets every month. Check what's available, and if you're out of contract you can switch in days under One Touch Switch.
