The average download speed received for ‘up to’ 20/24Mbit/s DSL packages was 6.2Mbit/s (29 per cent of average advertised ‘up to’ speeds). For ‘up to’ 8Mbit/s DSL services, it was 3.4Mbit/s (42 per cent of average advertised ‘up to’ speeds).
Very few ADSL broadband customers achieved average actual download speeds close to advertised ‘up to’ speeds. Just three per cent of customers on ‘up to’ 20 or 24Mbit/s DSL services received average download speeds of over 16Mbit/s, while 69 per cent received average download speeds of 8Mbit/s or less.
