Price comparison site Uswitch.com has published a list of the streets with the fastest and slowest broadband speeds in Wales.

They used 398,973 ‘real world’ speed tests run by broadband users over the last year to compile the figures.

There was a massive gulf in broadband speeds recordedÌý across Wales.

While sometimes it was infrastructure to blame the report found in some cases faster services were available but not being signed up to.

It found the slowest broadband in Wales, with an average download speed of 0.86Mbps, is found in Pennant in Llanbrynmair, Powys.Ìý

It means it would take close to 17 hours to download a two-hour HD film and at least six hours to download a 45-minute HD TV show.

Next up was Aberhosan near Machynlleth which readers may remember from a recent story

In North Wales, Tudor Avenue in Rhyl had the slowest download speed according to speed tests - coming in at 2.48Mbps.ÌýÌý

Superfast is actually available in the area but Uswitch said it found many weren't taking up the service.

Graig Penllyn, Cowbridge was the worst street in South Wales for slow internet speeds.

At the other end of the scale was Mary Street, Trethomas, Caerphilly with a superfast 216.64 Mbps.

Tyddyn Llwydyn, Caernarfon had a download speed of 136.06Mbps and close behind was the village of Llangristiolus, Anglesey with 133.58Mbps.

A Uswitch spokesman said: "The good news is that the number of broadband users enjoying faster speeds is growing.

"More than half of users (54%) now get speeds of more than 30Mbps, up from under a quarter (22%) five years ago[7].

"But despite the fact that superfast broadband (downloads speeds of 30Mbps or more) is available to 95%[8] of the country, a recent Uswitch survey found that only six in ten (60%) believe they can access it in their local area.

"Further reinforcing a lack of awareness of the faster speeds available, of the º£½ÇÊÓƵ's ten slowest streets, seven (70%) have access to a quicker service, suggesting that consumers are being deprived of better broadband simply because they aren’t checking."

The National Infrastructure Commission for Wales

It calls for the urgent establishment of a ‘barrier busting’ taskforce focused on making Wales a more attractive place to invest in all forms of digital infrastructure.

They also say that the º£½ÇÊÓƵ Government target of having fibre to every home by 2025 is not realistic and said focus should turn to mobile to home services to achieve full coverage.
