I refer to your article about a uSwitch report on broadband in the UK (Business, November 8).
According to this uSwitch report, Landsdowne Crescent in Larne and Upper Malverne in Castlereagh have been singled out as among streets offering the slowest broadband speeds in the UK. This is inaccurate and misleading. The cabinets serving both streets have in fact, been enabled for fibre broadband for quite some time and residents enjoy high speed services.
