Akamai’s latest globally focused ‘ State of the Internet Q3-2014′ report has claimed that average world broadband Internet download speeds suffered a mild decrease of -2.8% in Q3 to hit 4.5 Mbps. Similarly the UK saw its performance drop by -3.4% in the quarter to touch 10.7 Mbps, making us the 19th fastest country (down sharply from 16th in Q2 and 15th in Q1). Focusing on the United Kingdom, Akamai’s Q3-2014 report found that the results were broadly unchanged from the previous Q2 study. In other words, 81% of broadband users experienced Internet download speeds of 4 Mbps+ and 36% were able to receive 10 Mbps+. Sadly the proportion able to get speeds of 15 Mbps+ fell slightly from 21% in Q2 to 20% in Q3, although our peak download speeds edged upwards a little from 46.6 Mbps in Q2 to 46.8 Mbps in Q3. It’s unclear why there was a decline in performance during the third quarter of last year, although it’s worth remembering that the year-over-year changes were much more positive. For example, average global speeds have improved by 25% over the past 12 months and the United Kingdom saw a 17% increase over the same period. Now compare all of that with the top 10 countries. The results for the Europe, Middle East and Africa ( EMEA) region also allow us to see how the United Kingdom stacks up against countries like Germany, France, Spain and Italy among others. The UK, at least in terms of the largest EU economies, appears to fair quite a bit better. But we’re still behind some of the Nordic states. Akamai’s report also includes data for Mobile Broadband (3 G and 4 G) performance, which finds that the average download speed in the United Kingdom is a respectably good 8.1 Mbps (up from 6.1 Mbps in Q2) and we also delivered a peak speed of 51.0 Mbps (up from 36.9 Mbps in Q2). Overall 81% of mobile customers received data download speeds of above 4 Mbps in the UK, which is up from 63% in Q2.
