Broadband speed test
Connection speed test
We always give you the best speed possible on your line at no extra cost, whichever BT Total Broadband option you choose.
We can check your potential speed using either your phone number or post code. Your top connection speeds will depend on a number of factors including distance from your telephone exchange and internal wiring.
Read our response to the recent Ofcom report on broadband speeds.
What is up to 20Mb broadband?
Up to 20Mb broadband gives you consistently fast broadband speeds – even at peak times.* We're rolling it out across the UK – and over 50% of households will be able to get it by 2010. Up to 20Mb broadband lets you:
Open web pages in seconds
Download a music track in just 1.6 seconds
Send large emails and upload a photo in just 8 seconds
Get a faster online experience for the whole family
Faster speeds coming soon!
We will also be trialling superfast broadband of up to 40Mb in Whitchurch and Muswell Hill this year. BT Group believes there will be a need for super-fast broadband in the future, which is why we've already committed to investing 1.5 billion in a broadband fibre network.

The BT Broadband Accelerator is a smart bit of equipment that fits on to your telephone socket to boost your broadband speed by up to 1.5Mb. If you're a BT Total Broadband customer and you've got any telephone extension wiring in your home, the BT Accelerator could work for you.
