Internet in United Kingdom
The UK broadband market is dominated by the Openreach network (used by BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone) and Virgin Media's independent cable network. 'Altnets' like CityFibre, Hyperoptic, and Community Fibre are rapidly expanding full fiber coverage, forcing major providers to accelerate their own FTTP rollouts. Average speeds have risen to over 220 Mbps, with Virgin Media offering 1.1 Gbps widely and Openreach providers offering up to 900 Mbps-1.6 Gbps in enabled areas. 5G coverage is also robust in major cities, providing a viable home broadband alternative.
