Broadband slowdown

THE UK’s worst street for broadband speed is almost 2,000 times slower than the fastest, an annual survey by uSwitch has found.

Greenmeadows Park in Bamfurlong, Gloucestershire has average downloads speeds of 0.14 megabits per second (Mbps), 1,899 times slower than Abdon Avenue in Birmingham.

The speeds mean Greenmeadows Park residents would need to set aside more than 102 hours to download a two-hour HD film on Netflix.
