Five areas in Scotland have the worst internet connections in the UK, study finds

Five areas in Scotland have been identified as having the worst internet connection in the UK, a new study has found.

The Orkney Islands was revealed to have the worst internet access, with just 64.3 per cent of residents being hooked up to superfast broadband - compared to 94 per cent across the country.

Just one per cent of homes were found to be using ultrafast broadband, while people on Orkney also faced the slowest download speeds in the UK, at just 34.8 megabits per second - the UK average is 58.2 megabits per second.
