Broadband speed test

Test your broadband speed and compare broadband packages available in your area.

You can use a website like the BT Wholesale Broadband Speed Test to test your broadband speeds and run further tests on your connection. Please follow the instructions provided prior to running the test to ensure an accurate result.

The Scottish Government Reaching 100% (R100) programme is currently upgrading connections throughout Scotland to reach a minimum of 30 Megabits per second (Mbps) connection speed to all homes and businesses. The UK Government's Project Gigabit programme is currently in procurement and will upgrade speeds to at least 100Mbps.

Download speeds under 10Mbps are not considered acceptable broadband access. Those under 10Mbps may be eligible for support under the Universal Service Obligation.

To compare packages available in your area, an up-to-date list of approved broadband and mobile price comparison sites has been compiled by Ofcom.
