Key findings from Ofcom:
a little under half of the country still use the much slower and less reliable ADSL based pure copper lines
Wales suffers for much slower internet speeds than England.
A large gap in speeds between urban and rural areas persists.
Network congestion, poor home wiring, faults and traffic management measures can also have an impact on internet speed.
not everyone can afford, is aware of, or feels the need to upgrade a faster connection, even when one may be available.
there are still remote rural communities and digitally disadvantaged urban pockets who don't have better options available.
the government's new Universal Service Obligation (USO) promises to set a minimum download speed of at least 10Mbps for all by 2020.
2% of the UK's population (11% of the UK's rural population) has a speed of 2MBPS or less
ADSL network speeds can be as slow as 3.8MBPS
Closing as Lighthouse includes latency checks
Accessibility testing page is missing guidance on testing for the slow internet connection.
