The sync speed is the maximum speed that is achievable on the connection between the network and the premises. In reality, the actual speed that is provided to an end user is typically lower than the sync speed and this will vary depending on the number of other people using the network at that point in time. The specification that we consulted on was for a sync speed of at least 10Mbps. Ofcom says that a 10Mbps sync speed meets the needs of a typical household.</ins></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 01/02/2018 12:36:04 question first ministerially corrected 06/02/2018 11:40:42 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James previous answer version 38707 answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
