A full 89% of these companies reported the speed of their internet was satisfactory.

The number of companies with a fast fixed internet connection of 100 megabits/s or more is also growing quickly, rising to 28% last year from 8% in 2012.

The lowest internet connection speeds were found in textiles companies, restaurants and cafés where only 52% of businesses had connections of at least 30 megabit/s.
