answer text

According to Ofcom’s May 2019 UK Home Broadband Performance report, average download speeds increased by 18% in 2018 to 54.2 mbps. This demonstrates the growing availability and take-up of superfast broadband in the UK. In comparing the UK to other EU countries, the latest data from the 2019 Digital Society and Economy Index (DESI) report by the European Commission shows that the UK ranked seventh out of 28 EU countries for the availability of superfast broadband. The UK also compares well to countries outside of the EU for superfast availability.
