Virgin Media and O2 performed well in download speeds last month but upload speeds are still very low for both companies.
Virgin Media has again topped a broadband poll of the best average download speeds, it was confirmed today.
The monthly speed test by Broadband.co.uk has put the company top yet again for the month of September 2009, with an average speed of 7.238Mbps.
The website said in a statement: "During September 2009 Virgin Media have yet again extended their lead as the UK's fastest broadband supplier however their average speed is no longer rising."
