Uswitch broadband expert Ernest Doku said:
"At a time when so many of us rely on our broadband for work, streaming films and TV, and gaming, it's hard to imagine how frustrating such a slow connection must be.
"It's great to witness the increased uptake of ultrafast broadband, but we don't want to see large swathes of the country left behind on shoddy connections that aren't cutting it for modern life.
"Of the 10 slowest streets, nine could have access to faster broadband, so we urge residents there - and anyone else unhappy with their broadband speeds - to do a quick search online to see what speeds they could be getting with another provider."
