What is a broadband download speed?

Broadband download speed refers to the rate at which data can be transferred from the internet to your device through your broadband connection. It is typically measured in megabits per second (Mbps). A higher download speed means that data, such as website content, videos, or music, can be accessed and downloaded faster. It is an important factor to consider when choosing an internet service provider. Discover the best broadband deals in your area with our postcode checker.
