GA turned it off in 2011 - bit of a bummer :-(

Ofcom 2013 showed average as 14.7Mbs:

..although there's some detail in there about "advertised speeds" vs actual..
NetIndex is quite useful - uses SpeedTest.net and has a nice set of
maps: http://explorer.netindex.com/maps
Presumably though, you'll put video on YouTube or Vimeo and let their CDN's do all the hard lifting for mobile / speed / latency / etc...?

Failing that, are there any national statistics on average connection speeds. We're working on a project involving lots of video, and I'm keen to hit the sweet spot between quality of image and ease of access at the top end. What standards do you work to in your own institutions?
