Scotland has the worst broadband speed in the whole of the UK - with 42 places out of the top 50 getting the slowest internet.
Official figures show hundreds of thousands of people do not have access to decent connection speeds, with huge differences between regions.
Stirling has the slowest internet in the country, with people living in Carron Bridge, Muirmill and Easter Buckieburn seeing average download speeds of just 0.1 Mbit/s.
That’s much slower than 3G (around 3 Mbit/s) - and only slightly better than dial-up (0.06 Mbit/s).
The figures from Ofcom’s Connected Nations report show 92% of homes in that area are unable to receive download speeds of at least 2 Mbit/s.
East Ayrshire, Angus, Argyll and Bute, Dumfries and Galloway, the Highlands, Orkney and Shetland also have the slowest broadband speeds in the UK.
Now The Mirror's exclusive tool lets you find out what connections are like in your area.
Households in Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, North East Lincolnshire, and West Dunbartonshire enjoy the fastest average download speeds in the country at 107 Mbit/s.
Ofcom’s report found high-speed internet access is improving across the UK.
There are now nearly eight million homes that can get gigabit connections (download speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s) and 96% of UK homes can access superfast broadband (up to 30 Mbit/s).
Around 27% of homes in the UK can get gigabit broadband, which includes full fibre services and Virgin Media’s fastest cable package.
However, that varies across the UK - at 56% in Northern Ireland, 42% in Scotland, 25% in England, and 19% in Wales.
While 96% of people in the UK can get superfast broadband, that falls to 81% in rural areas.
Ofcom estimates around 60% of premises who are able to get superfast broadband actually take a superfast or faster service.
Lindsey Fussell, Ofcom’s Network and Communications Group Director, said: “For millions of families this year, life during lockdown would have been even more difficult without reliable broadband to work, learn, play and see loved ones.
“So it’s encouraging that future-proof, gigabit broadband is now available to a quarter of homes, and we expect that to rise even faster in the coming months.”
However, an estimated 190,000 (0.6%) of properties in the UK still do not have access to a decent broadband service (up to 10 Mbit/s download speeds) through either a fixed or fixed wireless network.
