UK Councils – Residents Need Access to Local Data on Broadband Speed

The Local Government Association, which represents 370 councils across England and Wales, has called on the Government’s new Digital Economy Bill 2016-17 to nudge ISPs into sharing their broadband speed data so that consumers can more easily compare the performance of individual houses.

At present anybody who wants to see the potential broadband speed of a particularly property (e.g. house or office) either has to depend upon unreliable postcode-level information or conduct an address-level check with each ISP and or package (connection technology) that suits your interest, which is incredibly tedious.

For broadband via a BT line you only really need to do an address check via the BT Wholesale checker, even for LLU lines it will still give a good enough guide.
