3 have announced that they will double their broadband speeds by the end of the summer. They currently operate at a theoretical max download speed of 3.6Mb, although they only quote 2.8Mb as a top speed as 3.6Mb is virtually impossible to achieve unless you sit live under a base station. Most people will receive 1Mb to 1.5Mb on average, which allows you to download a music track in no more than 30 seconds, so it’s still pretty fast. Most home broadband connection’s only achieve a speed of around 3Mb according to a report late last year by the BBC.
Their network top speed is increasing to 7.2Mb which 3 state will get most customers to an actual download speed of 2Mb. They aim t double the top speed again to 14.4Mb in the future, which we assume means a download speed of 3Mb to 4Mb which would challenge many of the home broadband providers.
