Top Five UK Broadband Providers for 2006


Overview


In the third quarter of 2006, the Internet Performance Indicator (IPI) released key data, showcasing the top UK broadband providers. BT emerged as the leader for the second consecutive quarter, followed by PIPEX, Demon, PlusNet, and Virgin.net.

Study Insights


The IPI study evaluated overall technical performance, focusing on:

- Internet connection speed and reliability
- Connection time efficiency
- File upload and download speeds
- Ping and DNS lookup performance

This comprehensive analysis was conducted across eleven UK locations, accumulating an average of 58,313 tests from July 1 to September 30, 2006.

5. Virgin

Performance Highlights


The nationwide shift to Broadband/ADSL Max significantly outperformed the older 2Mbps IPStream and Datastream services. The average connection speed reached 3817.82 kbps, with PlusNet achieving the highest speed in Q3.

Despite increased speeds, it's important for customers to recognize that an "up to 8Meg" service doesn't guarantee consistent 8Mbps performance?"it often varies with distance from the telephone exchange.

Notable Findings


- Tesco: Recorded the lowest number of connection failures.
- PlusNet: Achieved the highest overall connection speed and fastest ping test.
- BT: Excelled in upload/download speeds and HTTP download speed, enhancing browsing experiences.
- Demon: Reported the lowest packet loss.

Conclusion


If you're dissatisfied with your current internet service provider, consider switching. Broadband/ADSL connections are becoming increasingly affordable and competitive, promising faster and more reliable service.
