Rural Broadband Speeds

Broadband speeds in rural areas are less than half those in the UK's towns and cities, while Omagh in Northern Ireland is the worst connected area for basic broadband coverage, according to analysis of official data.

Note that they are talking about the 'broadband speeds', and hence perhaps only consider the speeds of those who can actually receive broadband to then give the average broadband speed. This is noted in some of the comments below, and actual connection speeds could be significantly slower if non-broadband connections were also included.

Thanks John, I think I understand it now!
