Funny - here in Margate I get between 4 and 5Mb speed. When I lived in
Oxfordshire I was lucky to get 1.5Mb.So, perhaps us riff-raff are
lucky!

Pfff

I live in the north and I get 6.5mb.

I think it's a kind of consolation prize.

I'm a few miles west of Margate and I get between 6MB/s and 7 Mb/s...!

That is indeed a consolation prize. The south get megabits, and the
north get millibits! :-)

You can't have everything you can be across the channel in around 90
minutes from Margate via Euro tunnel stock up on cigs and booze and
be back home before tea plus easy access to London plus better weather
than we get up here .
If I lived down your way I don't think I would bother with BB a dial
up connection would do me fine .
