Broadband Speed, small city vs large city

Hi, I wonder why London has only 67 Mbps while other small cities have over 900 Mbps on the same plan.

Best Regards,

@Rky   it has nothing to do with the size of the city, but depends if fibre is available in a specific area. The old phone network of copper wires is being replaced by fibre which can deliver much higher speeds.

Alas there are places where councils have restriced where fibre can be installed.

Some areas of London can only get 80 Meg FTTC (Fibre) while others can get 1 Gig FTTP (Full Fibre). It just depends on the availability of the network infrastructure laid by OR.
