Gap in internet broadband speeds across Tendring revealed Christmas 2020 will be remembered as the year we camped on the sofa to watch festive films in between video-calling loved ones from our homes. However, for some families in Tendring, this year’s frustrations are set to continue with new figures revealing crippling broadband speeds in some neighbourhoods. Across the local authority, broadband speeds range from a superfast 88.5 megabits (Mbps) per second to a snail-paced 1.7 Mbps, according to data from Uswitch.com. It means families using Zoom, Skype or Facebook to speak to relatives and friends could be faced with annoying freezes, cut-outs and sound delays.
