LISBURN has placed joint last for its broadband speed in research carried out across the five cities in Northern Ireland.
Lisburn's average broadband download speed is just 3.24Mb, the same as Armagh, whilst Belfast came out on top with 5.88Mb, followed by Newry with 4.14Mb and Londonderry on 3.86Mb.
Over the past two months Top 10 Broadband has compiled almost 20
0,000 broadband speed tests carried out by users of its website, in over 2,600 postcodes in towns and cities around the UK.
Results show that the average home broadband speed in Belfast is over 1.5Mb higher than the average of second place Newry, and over 2Mb ahead of the speed recorded in Lisburn.
Even then Belfast was only 24th overall out of the UK's 60 biggest cities in Top 10 Broadband's nationwide survey, which saw Bournemouth come out on top with 8.06Mb. London only managed 15th in the survey.
Alex Buttle from Top 10 Broadband said: "Nowadays everyone expects their broadband to be superfast so they can watch TV online and download the latest music and movies.
"The data from our speed test shows that the people of Belfast are getting significantly better speeds than those in nearby cities. So it wouldn't be surprising if the people of Newry, Londonderry, Lisburn and Armagh started complaining to their ISPs."
