Ofcom map showing broadband take-up
This map shows percentages for broadband take-up around the UK.
The only spot of green (not visible at this scale) is Brighton and Hove, which leads the nation with 80 percent take-up. Blue shows where there is take-up of 70-79 percent, orange is 60-69 percent and purple is 50-59 percent.
The Outer Hebrides and the Northern Irish district of Moyle are red on this map, showing broadband adoption of less than 50 percent.
Overall, 68 percent of British premises have a fixed broadband connection, according to Ofcom. The average maximum speed for ADSL and cable connections is 7.5Mbps.
