THE HIGHLANDS has been ranked as one of the worst places in Britain for broadband speeds. Consumer champion Which? revealed the news last week following new analysis.
The Highlands finished in the bottom five for Scotland, alongside Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands, with speeds falling below 10mbps.
10Mbps is the minimum download speed proposed under the Government’s Universal Service Obligation (USO) that anyone in the UK would be entitled to request and is regarded as necessary to meet the typical demands of a family or small business.
