Who's topped the charts this month?

The results of our Ultimate Speed League for September are in. This month we have compared broadband providers of up to 8Mbps and up to 2Mbps so you can see who's living up to the hype, and who's lagging behind.

Using the results from our downloadable speedtester, we have calculated the average speed of each provider, and we are proud to bring you this months ultimate speed league table.


Medium Broadband

This table compares broadband suppliers with medium broadband packages of up to 8Mbps.

Provider Average Mbps
1 Karoo 4.1
2 O2 Broadband 3.7
3 Eclipse 3.3
4 Madasafish 3.3
5 BT Broadband 2.7
6 Sky Broadband 2.7
7 Toucan 2.7
8 Orange 2.6

Light Packages

This table compares suppliers and their light broadband packages of up to 2Mbps.

Provider Average Mbps
1 Virgin Media 1.6
2 Tiscali (Now owned by TalkTalk) 1.4
3 Orange 1.4
4 Sky Broadband 1.3

These tables use data collected from September 2008, and use data only from providers who have done 1000 or more tests over the month. None of the results have been deleted, adapted or manipulated – these tables display honest results and allow you to see the truth behind your ISP’s claims.

Are you getting what you ordered?

I'm with Karoo broadband and it's terrible - don't listen to them blowing hot air about how fast they are...I constantly get disconnected sometime as much as every 15 minutes, I'm on their most expensive package which aparently grants me a prioity during peak times, this I don't believe...Also their technical customer service, which (thank God) is English, don't even have a clue about ANYTHING technical at all - I had to explain to them what an ADSL filter does.

Can't even change providers either as Karoo has the monopoly over Hull, there's no BT lines. - Oct 19 2008 11:11PM
Recently I was on holiday at Gran Canaria. The hotel (a 3 *) had 3 Internet PCs which amazingly downloaded immediately without hesitation or any kind of delay; their speeds were amazing!. Not so long ago Spain and those islands were culturally backwards under Franco; where I wonder did we fall behind? - Oct 17 2008 11:09PM
