Business insurance holders may be interested to hear claims that there are a number of issues that can affect broadband speed.

Writer at broadband-expert.co.uk Richard Patterson noted that people –who may include those with business insurance – may never achieve a 100 per cent maximum speed.

He noted this can be slowed by contention ratio, weather conditions and distance to the server.

Mr Patterson suggested business insurance holders and others should carry out some tests to determine what speed the actual connection is.

The writer remarked: "Some broadband providers will give you an idea of the expected speed before signing up to their service so it's always worth checking this before signing a contract."

His comments follow a recent study by O2 that revealed 41 per cent of those quizzed stated a slow internet connection is the most annoying part of their day.

According to Akamai the UK stands 26th in the list of countries with the best broadband speeds.
