It may be the summer holidays but the roll-outs are making the best use of the weather as roll-outs progress.

The summer holidays are here but that does not mean the work tracking UK broadband speeds stops. Other than the wax and wane in the provider speed test tables the main changes are that Openreach FTTP is integrated fully into the FTTH results.

Over half way through the year in this months speed test round up we also take a short look at peak versus off-peak speeds.

Spring is here now and that means time to look at the April 2016 speed test results.

The annual awards from ISPA are one step closer to being awarded as the masses of entrants have now being whittled down to a shortlist of 50 companies.

Some three years and four months after the first BDUK cabinet, the combined might of KC, Virgin Media, Openreach and Openreach gap-funded work has pushed the UK kicking and screaming to 90% superfast coverage.

The latest set of results are in and show Virgin Media starting to compete for top spot with FTTH suppliers.

The debate or row if you want to call it that over UK broadband coverage and speeds meant a busy month of speed testing in January and the resulting figures to add to our month by month analysis are now online.

The weekend saw another group, this time with the backing of 121 MP's call for the removal of Openreach from the BT Group.

Goodbye 2015 and hello to the speed test results for the last month of the year.
