Highlights
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.

A fast-growing footprint and a move to a new London HQ, InPost is going through exciting changes.
If you’ve ever picked up a parcel from a locker at your local supermarket or petrol station, chances are you’ve used InPost. Founded in Poland and now operating across nine countries, they’re a leader in logistics solutions for the e-commerce industry in Europe.
Preparing for the move
The team knew that moving offices and switching internet providers can bring unexpected hurdles, so finding a partner who could provide dependable service and simplify the installation process was essential.
Q4 is crunch time, with businesses pushing hard to hit year-end targets. But nothing slows momentum like lagging connectivity. For teams, that often run across hybrid setups using cloud apps, this often means slow file transfers, dropped video calls, and frustrated employees trying to get work done. Every minute of downtime is a minute of lost productivity.
The hidden cost of downtime
Our Reliability and Compensation Report shows that 51% of UK fixed business connectivity customers report experiencing an outage annually, and nearly 1 in 5 have more than three outages.
These disruptions cost the average business around £11,000 in lost output.
Even worse, over 60% of those affected didn’t receive any compensation, either because claiming it wasn’t worth the effort or they didn’t expect to get anything back. So, while cheaper connections might look appealing on paper, they carry hidden operational costs that far outweigh any upfront savings.
How bandwidth directly impacts productivity
As more teams use AI-driven tools to speed-up tasks, poor connectivity becomes counteractive. These tools rely on fast, stable bandwidth to process and return results in real time. When responses lag, workflows slow, and the efficiency gains AI is designed to provide are reduced.
Most businesses only realise their network limits when they need it most, Q4 is the perfect example! Yet many teams have simply learned to put up with it. After years of slow uploads and dropped calls, it’s easy to accept that’s just how things are. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a choice, and switching to a more reliable connection is simpler than most realise (to us, anyway).
Fix problems now before they get worse
Addressing performance issues now ensures your team finishes the year strong and starts the next one even stronger. With reliable bandwidth, files transfer instantly, video calls stay clear, and systems remain responsive, so your team can focus on what really counts, getting work done.
Even if everything seems fine today, your team’s bandwidth demands are growing rapidly. Nielsen’s Law shows that high-end users’ network speeds increase by roughly 50% each year, so now’s the time to check whether your current contract can support the upgrades your team will need to avoid future slowdowns.
