Bexley has the second lowest broadband speed with 19.2 mb/s, followed by Greenwich and Dartford which have very similar average speeds at 22 and 22.1 mb/s respectively.

This makes Lewisham the only south-east London borough with a broadband speed slower than the national average, which was measured at 17 mb/s.

Alex Neill, Which Managing Director of Home Services, said: “Far too many households across the UK are suffering from slow broadband speeds, which can stop you being able to carry out essential daily tasks.

“We are encouraging everyone with broadband to use our speed checker so people can see if they are getting the speeds that they’ve been promised by their provider and find out how to complain if their speed is too slow.

“This will also help to further highlight where problem areas are across the UK, putting pressure on Government and providers to help everyone get a good broadband connection.”
