A Nottinghamshire village reportedly has one of the worst broadband speeds in the UK with residents describing it as "awful." The rural village of Kilvington, near Newark, has the eighth worst broadband speed in the UK and fourth worst speed in England.
Research has found that rural areas are seven times more likely to be stuck with broadband speeds under 10Mbps. As the moon is set to get broadband speeds of 100Mbps in 2024, this means that over 500,000 properties across the UK will have broadband speeds ten times worse than the moon is due to get.
Additionally, the Arctic Circle already has speeds of 100Mbps and even Mount Everest currently receives broadband speeds of 50Mbps. Kilvington residents are growing frustrated with the issue, but some say the broadband speed has recently been improved thanks to underground fibre.
