United Kingdom UK: Fixed Broadband Internet Subscribers: per 100 People data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s UK – Table UK.World Bank: Telecommunication. Fixed broadband subscriptions refers to fixed subscriptions to high-speed access to the public Internet (a TCP/IP connection), at downstream speeds equal to, or greater than, 256 kbit/s. This includes cable modem, DSL, fiber-to-the-home/building, other fixed (wired)-broadband subscriptions, satellite broadband and terrestrial fixed wireless broadband. This total is measured irrespective of the method of payment. It excludes subscriptions that have access to data communications (including the Internet) via mobile-cellular networks. It should include fixed WiMAX and any other fixed wireless technologies. It includes both residential subscriptions and subscriptions for organizations.; ; International Telecommunication Union, World Telecommunication/ICT Development Report and database.; Weighted average; Please cite the International Telecommunication Union for third-party use of these data.

Over the five years through 2024-25, wired telecommunications carriers' revenue is set to contract at a compound annual rate of 5.3% to £15.2 billion. The slump in revenue has been driven by a drop in landline use, intensifying competition among providers, stimulating price reductions and the shift towards wireless connections as they improve in speed. The proliferation of mobile phones has dampened demand for wired telecom, exacerbated by innovations like the rollout of 5G. As consumers shifted to more readily available wireless options, revenue from traditional wired services took a hit. Alongside this, the Local Loop Unbundling has made it easier for new entrants to the market, intensifying competition for established carriers. Nevertheless, demand for fast, reliable connections and expanding full-fibre network services have kept demand fairly strong. Mobile and digital technologies are becoming more popular at the expense of wired telecommunications services, like landline telephony. Providers have attempted to mitigate lower demand for wired telecoms by bundling traditional telecommunication offerings with more popular services — for example, they’ll offer phone services in combination with their internet packages. However, this has come at the expense of average revenue per user (ARPU). Lower line rental charges have been further depleted thanks to Ofcom regulations to boost transparency in pricing mechanisms. Despite significant price hikes being made by most providers, revenue dipped over the two years through 2023-24, as users traded down to cheaper deals and cut out some bundled services from their contracts. In 2024-25, optimism among consumers and businesses will support a return to growth — revenue is estimated to climb by 1.5%. Still, network investments, high competition and lower ARPU will constrain the average profit margin. Wired telecoms providers are shifting towards a broadband-first fixed network business model. The value of wired telecommunications will likely continue declining while alternative options, like wireless VoIP and cloud computing, flourish. Still, revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 1.7% over the five years through 2029-30 to £16.6 billion. Wired broadband will remain vital for all households, with annual price rises set to sustain revenue growth. The ongoing roll-out of 5G networks presents a major threat to wired telecom providers, as downstream clients look set to increasingly adopt advanced wireless telecommunications. Regulatory pressures from Ofcom will likely further reduce line rental prices for UK consumers and exacerbate pressures on ARPU.

Urban SDK is a GIS data management platform and global provider of mobility, urban characteristics, and alt datasets. Urban SDK Traffic data provides traffic volume, average speed, average travel time and congestion for logistics, transportation planning, traffic monitoring, routing and urban planning. Traffic data is generated from cars, trucks and mobile devices for major road networks in US and Canada.

As of **********, the average download speed in the United Kingdom (UK) across all technologies was **** Mbit/s, continuing an upwards trend since 2017. Cable connections provided the fastest download speeds from 2017 to 2020, but were replaced in 2021 by full-fibre (FTTP) connections at an average of ***** Mbit/s.The main driver of faster download speeds is customers upgrading to faster technologies rather than improvement in individual technologies, according to the source.

Although it was the slowest technology of those measured, average download speeds for asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) broadband increased the most. The average download speed delivered by fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) connections was to **** Mbit/s.

This statistic shows the average connection speeds (IPv4) for mobile connections in Europe in the 1st quarter of 2017, broken down by country (in Mbit/s). The three top average connection speeds for mobiles were in the United Kingdom (UK), Cyprus and Germany.
