This study has revealed that the average download speed has risen from 36.2Mbps last year to 42.6Mbps this year and download speeds rose 1.9Mbps, from 4.3Mbps to 6.2Mbps.
Across Leicester and Leicestershire the average speed to date that Superfast Leicestershire is delivery is 61Mbps, well above the superfast broadband definition of 24Mbps.
