At that speed it would take more than 100 hours to download a two-hour HD film on Netflix, or almost 40 hours for a 45-minute HD TV show, according to the latest consumer speed test report by the price comparison site uSwitch.com.

“This research lays bare the extent of the UK’s digital divide,” said Dani Warner, a broadband expert at uSwitch. “Streets that are relatively close geographically can be light years apart when it comes to the download speeds they are getting.”
