At Vorboss, we're suckers for data. And no data gets us going more than connectivity data, average speeds, and the real numbers behind Londoners’ experience online.

The regulator of that data in the UK is OfCom, the Office of Communications. Recently, we’ve dug into their internet performance by postcode report, to help us demonstrate just how much of a leap Vorboss Direct Internet is vs the typical experience of speed online that a London business might feel.

This data is free for anyone to access, and we would encourage our data hungry readers to get stuck in here.

For us at Vorboss, we were able to take this granular postcode level data and use it to identify the average speeds of the boroughs that our cable network serves, and naturally compared it to our service. We’ve translated our findings into a handy map, which you can find here.

It is important to note that OfCom’s data excludes leased lines and networks deployed specifically for business. While this is frustrating because it means we can’t compare apples to apples, OfCom’s connected nations report still shows just how many businesses are getting by with only a broadband connection (known as full fibre), which are included in these numbers. For example, City of London take-up of non-leased line full fibre is 57%! Considering how large this figure is, we believe the disparity with our service is still important to highlight.

If you want to understand the differences between leased lines and broadband, and what making the switch to leased line could mean for your business, you can read our blog on this subject here.
