Your broadband is getting SLOWER in the summer – the worst hit UK cities revealed

By staff1 August 2025No Comments2 Mins Read

New research has revealed that broadband speeds are set to slow down across the UK this summer, with millions of Brits set to be affected. Here are the worst hit cities

Uswitch’s latest research has uncovered that our love for streaming and surfing during the summer is causing a broadband bottleneck. The comparison site estimates that a staggering 9.4 million Brits will be grappling with sluggish internet speeds this season due to a spike in usage.

The survey conducted by the firm found that 32 per cent of people noticed more frequent broadband issues when the weather heats up.

The study also pinpointed which cities are hit hardest, revealing that Edinburgh residents suffer the most, with 26 per cent reporting slower speeds, followed closely by Londoners and Plymouth locals at 23 per cent, and then those in Leeds and Sheffield.

On the flip side, Cardiff and Bristol seem to be getting a smoother service.

Here’s the lowdown on where broadband speeds are dragging:

  • Edinburgh – 26 per cent experiencing slower speeds.
  • London – 23 per cent hit by lag.
  • Plymouth – 23 per cent facing delays.
  • Leeds – 22 per cent bogged down.
  • Sheffield – 22 per cent slowed down.

And the places where broadband is breezing along:.

  • Cardiff – only six per cent slower.
  • Bristol – seven per cent behind.
  • Belfast – 11 per cent off the pace.
  • Southampton – 12 per cent lagging.
  • Newcastle – 12 per cent delayed.

Looking for ways to boost your broadband?

Ernest Doku, Uswitch’s broadband guru, suggests these savvy steps:.

He also advises: “If you’re still facing slow speeds, it’s a good idea to run a speed test and make sure you’re getting the speeds you pay for within your package,” adding that “Your provider should always give you a minimum guaranteed speed for your broadband service.

“For superfast broadband products, this is now based on the capability of the line going directly into your home or office. Your provider should always give you a minimum guaranteed speed for your broadband service.”
